be warn and the next time you see richard kelly involve in any production and run away . fast . kelly prove to the world after his last movie and southland tale and that he be one pretentious director . it be indulgent and convolute . in the box and not much have change . i can picture what his pitch to warner bros must have be and and i bet the executive at the studio ate it right up represent a full feature film base on one of richard twilight zone matheson old short story . big mistake . do not read any further unless you want this movie completely spoil for you represent norma ( cameron diaz ) push the button . turn out that arlington steward ( frank langella ) have an alien use his body a a vessel to conduct experiment in which the fate of mankind rest . his face be scar because he be strike by alien lightening and which kill him and but then bring him back to life to do all of this red button test . obviously since norma push the button and know full well that someone may die and she must suffer the consequence for fail to consider someone else life instead of her own . in the end she and her husband ( james marsden ) choose to kill norma instead of have their son grow up deaf and blind . kelly dance around his film message and try to make the audience figure out what the moral of the story be . obviously and any person with a brain be say at the beginning and what if i be the person who die . richard kelly doesn not even let his character have this normal and human conversation . in fact and they avoid it all together . they appear to both be educate and work at a prestigious school and also for nasa and so why wouldn not they both have a good ability to look outside of the box . if he have the main character actually have this conversation and the entire movie could have end right there . instead and we have to watch wedding go on forever and nasa and the nsa be complacent to arlington stewart take over these government program and teleportation to show marsden life beyond our world so it will be easy to kill his wife and and drone control by steward which can be anywhere and nowhere and at any time . the most painful part of this movie be the pacing . nothing really happen . it a muddled mish mash of idea that be laughable . it be insufferable how this film be be market . the commercial make it look like saw and even use the music from those film to sell it . in reality what you get be a slow and dull and laughable ( yes and half the theater be laugh at the acting and visual effect ) and and messy film which be neither imaginative and interesting and nor cohesive . at one point and cameron diaz and her son be abduct and then suddenly and she be back in the nsa big black car with her husband on the way home . where do she go . why do they take her . do we really care . not anymore you would not . by the end you really would not care what happen to any of the character . you will be root for all of them to die so the film will just end . go see anything else that play . don not waste your time and or money .
