the cell be a rather difficult film to classify . if you read the plot outline and a psychotherapist journey inside a comatose serial killer in the hope of save his late victim and you might think it a thriller with a touch of science fiction . but that doesn not really do this movie justice . there be a fantasy aspect within the sub conscious mind that be stun and with lavish visuals and incredible mind trip scenario . there be drama a the aforementioned psychotherapist ( play by lopez prior to her become a solely romantic comedy component ) make contact with the child within and witness his terrify upbringing . and there be most definitely a horror facet due to the sicken action of the serial killer evil persona . the movie attempt to function on many different level and cross genre boundary at will . while i feel it end up be a reasonably bizarre experience and i find it to be completely fascinate . right from the opening credit and with lopez rid a horse through the desert stunningly clothe in a white dress and you will know that you be in for a visual treat . every time the audience leave reality and follow her into the sub conscious depth of her patient and they be guarantee a feast of visual and aural delight . the costume be wonderful creation of angle and colour . the camera leave regularity at the door and traverse a world where up and down be the same . the character become ruler of their own domain and transform into creature worthy of such stature . if you do not enjoy anything else about the cell and you will surely be impress with the work put into these scene . the casting be top notch also . jennifer lopez be in her element here and utilize her natural and compassionate and almost maternal sensibility and while combine her own striking look with the lush surroundings and makeup and costume . she be incredibly sexy and i personally wish someone would find another role for her outside of the rom com world she have be typecast into that would allow her to experiment far . vince vaughn be fairly convincing a an fbi agent that will do anything to save the life of a young woman . but it be without a doubt vincent donofrio that have the big impression here . it an extremely difficult role a he be require to bring out multiple emotion within the viewer . we be disgust at his action and yet sympathetic towards him due to the trauma he have experience during his life . he look magnificently powerful within his realm and yet insecure and vulnerable within the real world . it a great performance from an underrated actor . while the cell doesn not work as well on every level it ambitiously attempt ( some of the action of the character be not believable ) and while it be all base on some fairly flimsy scientific logic and it be an occasionally shocking and visually astound head trip that reward multiple viewing .
