mediocre performance aside and there be a lot of missed opportunity in this movie . the miscasting of finney and dey be a big problem . finney be not the right actor for the role of the protagonist or romantic lead and you can not help feeling he just pick up a paycheck . he certainly doesn not put any effort or sincerity into the part . dey be just plain wrong in a role a a model with supposedly perfect and symmetrical feature . dey be cute and great in many role and but crichton really need someone who actually have a symmetrical face . a a director ( and and unfortunately and also a an author ) crichton put much effort into some detail and none at all into others . why and for example and do the main bad guy or thug move item unnecessarily when search an apartment . the victim always notice that the item be out of place or miss . that just stupid . plus and why kill off people under such obvious and suspicious circumstance . it not like the police do not investigate murder . an intelligent assassin also wouldn not use a submachine gun in a doctor office and the looker weapon wouldn not fit in a standard pistol holster and a sink would not spray water out of the drain when hit by an errant bullet and yada yada . there be some creepy sequence and but far few than crichton intend . worth see if it on scifi and but do not waste a rental on it . i never do understand why it be necessary to kill any of the model and either .
