Delving into the realm between life and death can be a perilous high wire act that is best performed by someone who knows what they are doing. Unfortunately when you perform this act you usually want a net to catch you if you fall, the net here was remaking the successful Swedish film "DEN OSYNLIGE." Director David S. Goyer teamed up with the producers of The Sixth Sense to put an American twist into the story, but even with all of their camera tricks the story still falls flat.
A high school student is beaten and left for dead, but while his life is slowly bleeding away his spirit is free to try and get help to save his life. The audience loses interest before the story really gets going, and the biggest reason for this is that the characters and the interaction between them wasn’t fascinating enough to wonder what was going to happen. Some of the camera tricks work but their not entertaining enough to carry the story and what little action there is falls apart before to quickly.
The journey that we all become a part of is long, slow, and boring and about half way through the movie your wishing that Nick would hurry up and die so that the story would be over. I started to lose interest in the storyline about 15 minutes into the film and had to fight to stay awake. This just isn’t worth seeing once, its worth avoiding completely.
