AMC Livonia 20
Theater #17 35mm
Presentation was good, too many trailers. Please, throw away the Blindness trailer. Maybe you didn't notice, but it is somehow printed off center, way to screen right. Pay attention.

This movie is plain bad. The story is trite, there are random undeveloped characters thrown in for some reason, and the ending is about as contrived and unsatisfying as they come. The ONLY redeeming quality of this movie is Ellen Page's brilliant delivery of the handful of good lines her character has. Most of the characters are whiny and irritating. Maybe that was the point, but for the most part they are unlikable.

Two out of five, mostly because Ellen Page really is fantastic, and proves that she delivers consistent results.
