>weird tone shifting>stiff dramatic beats that should have been harrowing>shitty writing for the demon gimmick I like 90s movies a lot but this one missed the opportunity to be great. Resurrection with Lambert was a far better Seven-type of movie.
>>215638613I put this in the same category as the other Denzel serial killer movie, The Bone Collector. Both have interesting enough concept, fantastic cast, and director who can make something competent. Yet they both fall apart because of dumb and dull writing.
>>215638613i think john goodman is the odd man out here, he goes comedy while everyone else is thriller and mogs denzel anyhow. also denzel researching aramaic shit was a bit of a stretch, cute girl sidekick was completely wasted.>>215638736bone collector has no real flaws it's just not as great as it could have been. maybe the attempt at keeping tone light was never going to work.
