the last film that provide a vivid and disturb look at what insanity be probably like be in dream . in that movie and you do not see insanity and you be there . now the cell come along with an update and much more disturbing portrayal of the inside of the mind of a psychotic killer . the opening scene take you into the seemingly innocent mind of a comatose little boy and and the thing that catherine deane ( jennifer lopez ) see be first fascinating and then terrify . the thing that she later see in the mind of vincent stargher ( vincent donofrio ) be amazingly imaginative and fascinating and most of this stuff have never be see in film before . the story of the cell be not exactly something that be really groundbreaking . in fact and it be basically the same a the story in the silence of the lamb . you have a killer in custody and these people have to enter his mind to find a female victim who be currently in danger of lose her life . the only real difference between the foundation of the plot be that in the silence of the lamb and you have to enter the mind of a killer to find a different killer as well a his current victim and while in the cell and you have to enter the mind of a killer to find his own victim . however and despite the unfortunately weak story and the cell completely revolutionize the genre of the psychological thriller . none that have ever be make even come close to it . also and the film have good direction and be extremely well act . vince vaughn deliver another of his characteristically excellent performance ( he be even good a norman bates in the pathetic 1998 re make of psycho ) and and even jennifer lopez put forth the second good effort of her career ( the other be the great out of sight ) . nothing can be say of the cinematography in the cell to give it sufficient credit and it be imaginative and fascinatingly do and be unparalleled by anything ever see in cinematic history . the cell be an incredibly well make film and and it deserve to be recognize .
