Pretty scary, but no exorcist

This film is no doubt scary as hell. However, to pour on the accolades and say this is as chilling as The Exorcist is going a bit far. I give it to the filmmakers for pulling this one off but I don't need to hear how all filmmakers can now make movies for $4,000. I think we all look forward to how they will do with a real camera and some film.

This film is comparable to such works as Easy Rider giant Giant. While these two films protagonists asking "what purpose do I have in this world?" The Fight Club asks the same question. This time the protagonist is us. The American male. 28 years old. Working hard for his things. That are just that-things.

This film is like getting really drunk. At first it feels pretty good but later you feel like death and hurt all over. In other words, the viewer easily gets sucked into the void of Norton's character.

If you enjoy seven or The Game you will like this film. If NYPD Blues is too graphic for you-stay away.

OK-I went to see this film and I don't get the hype around the protests. Yes, God is depicted as a woman and Chris Rock is the 13th disciple. But overall is this movie about good and evil and questioning things. Not such a bad thing. "Oh God" asked some of the same questions (sort of) and it upset no one.

If you like other Smith movies, you'll like it. Otherwise, stay home and watch Touched by an Angel.
