The Cell - 2000 - 6/10
Aww, man, this is one of those films I was ecstatic about when it first screened.
Bought the DVD, rewatched, and each time enjoyed less and less.
Feds ask a “counselor” to use tech gear to mind-meld with a comatose serial killer.
Reason, where is the most recent victim still hidden?
The look, the effects, are outstanding, especially so on first encounter.
Plotwise, the story doesn’t always make sense.
Moreover, our “heroes” from the Feds to the psychologist, they seem perfumed with sympathy repellent.
Artsy, yet sterile. Best to watch once and leave the wow factor intact.
