Amnesiac

It's an excellent movie to watch when you have a dinner and a movie date with your partner; for the movie doesn't really demand your continuing focus, so you can take a sip, share a bite and perhaps make out a bit and guess what? You haven't missed a thing, the movie is rolling on its own groggy pace, still at pretty much where you left off. But the joke aside, this is a fine thriller/soft horror by Polish. Great filmography, splendid staging, suggestive lighting and good acting by all. Suspense at every turn without the need of road signs, you know it is crawling in on you, Closer at every tick!! There are cross worlds of movies you feel like you're in, as in Reiner's Misery, as in Amenâbar's The Other's. Miss Bosworth's costume and mannerism is very much of Nicole Kidmans, the cool tempered eerie you-know-something-not-quite-right-but-can't-take-my- eyes-off-her beauty who makes sure the sun stays out and darkness creeps in, along with the door knockers. Later on you see Kate's trivia quipping character transform from Nicole Kidman's loving care into Katie Bates' kind of loving. The ending is quite abrupt and not to the expectation you might've dreamt up to that point but hey, still is a good flick when you're multi tasking. Keep your eyes peeled my friends..

This isn't as absolutely bad as some reviewers are making it out to be. To call it the worst movie ever made just shows that a person hasn't watched a lot of movies. Having said that - no, it's not especially good either. There are a few cringe-worthy moments contained within its hour and a half (but, yes, it did seem longer) but for the most part it just kind of meanders slowly along, with very little emotion or passion being shown by either Kate Bosworth or Wes Bentley, who both seemed to have little interest in what they were doing.

They play a married couple (I don't remember any names being used for them.) As the movie opens they're in a car driving down a highway, and there's a young girl (their daughter, you assume) in the backseat. Suddenly there's a horrible accident and the next thing you know the man wakes up in a dim, sparsely furnished bedroom, remembering nothing and being looked after by the woman. From there it, well, just kind of meanders slowly along. You know that something isn't right. Something's off; something's weird. I took a guess as to what was happening - and I was wrong. The eventual revelation of what was going on did catch me by surprise, and that gains the movie a couple of points from me. The ending, however, is bizarre. I have to admit that I just didn't really understand how the movie ended.

Bosworth's performance was a kind of combination of Nicole Kidman (the look especially) and eventually it blends in some of Kathy Bates' character from Misery. Bentley himself just never picked up any steam in his performance as far as I was concerned.

This isn't as horrible as some people make it out to be. But it is weird - which is compelling for a while, but in the end you leave it disappointed. (4/10)

I'd have to say that most reviews here are spot on (as ever) apart from the obvious 'shill' (who even kindly reminds us it's on Amazon!) The film struggles throughout. Struggles for pace, coherence, atmosphere and most of all any scrape of originality. Even Nicole Kidman clone Kate Bosworth again shows she can't act for toffee as do the rest of the cast with alarming consistency. The film yearns to be Misery or any decent film of the Psycho Stalker genre but falls so far short it is funny. Bosworth's inaudible mutterings attempt to give a semblance of coherence to the dreadfully thin plot, the only convincing performance was the one from the cat who, in fairness delivered his 'miaows' with sublime skill and is the highlight of this dreary, poorly produced mumblefest.

It's a badly written, directed, and acted rip off of Stephen King's Misery. At first you think the movie may be salvageable, probably deserves more than the two, to two and a half stars it was given...until you watch it. The acting by the stories main protagonist (Kate Bosworth) is dull to say the least. It's almost as if Bosworth tried so hard, her performance goes full circle, right back to mediocre. There's a calm demeanor in the character that you as the viewer are supposed to find intriguing, but again, it's far too over done to be anything short of annoying. She is a walking encyclopedia of Jeapordy answers. Which, is supposed to add to the mystery of the character and the plot, but in the end falls flat, because the plot fails to explain why. The general pace is so slow, the plot is so needlessly drawn out, that it begins to feel like more of a nuisance to sit through to the finish, rather than a thrill-ride.

There is a slight twist at the end of the movie, but it's not enough to carry the film above the two star rating.

I have nothing against Kate Bosworth, personally. But, if she ever decides to do another role like this, she needs desperately to seek acting lessons from Kathy Bates.

I've set up an account just to rate this outrageously dull movie. Trust me do not waste your time. How it actually got made is beyond me. Really do not even waste your time. The 'twist' at the end is just as boring as the rest of the movie. I'm tempted to write to sky and ask for a refund. Ridiculous acting Ridiculous plot A complete waste of money I should have taken note of the other reviews and not even bothered with this movie............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .
