Then it falls off quickly, as we get to know Micheal, a rich A-hole who takes his really hot girlfriend on a trip to a remote town in the mountains, and becomes haunted by events that happen in the hotel he's staying at in room 327. It seems like the idea of the picture is that he starts out like a jerk, and the more we get to know him the more we can relate to him and become sympathetic. That never happens for me. From beginning to end, I feel nothing for this guy. Everything is just too bland.
The only good spot was the legendary, Lance Henriksen. He was the only actor I recognized and it shows, cause his season thespian chops made the most basic lines come to life, at least in comparison to the other actors.
The movie's overall plot does grab you again by the end of the film. I thought how everything connected together was a brilliant Idea, but the character development did not hold my interest enough until the big reveal.
So it started off strong and ends good, but the in-between loosen whatever hold It had on me at the beginning of the film, making the end not worth the time.
But the lead actor was absolutely the worst. His tone was completely flat. He sounded exactly the same throughout the entire movie. Confusion, anger, love - every emotion was portrayed with the exact same tone and intonation. And who talks like this guy? I get that in written form it may have seemed fine, but the language was totally unnatural. People don't say "they are". They say "they're". How did nobody notice how labored his speech sounded? Is that how he talks in real life, or just when he's trying to act? Most of the other acting was okay (although none of it was particularly memorable), but the lead drove me nuts and made the movie totally unenjoyable.
I watched it in bits and pieces while doing midnight feedings with my newborn. I don't know that I would have been able to handle it beginning to end in one sitting. I'd say it's fine if you have a couple hours to kill, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.
The rest of the acting is okay and easy to watch (wish they would've made Lance the lead, or even the blond bellhop at the hotel would've been much better). The idea behind the movie is interesting and makes you want to see what's going to happen, although it is a bit predictable, but always fun to see the why behind the what in these types of stories.....
It is "Monday at 11:01 A. M." Charles and Lauren are on a road trip for a special occasion. They go through a tunnel to a town that attracts them. They plan to stay the night.
Soon strange things begin to happen and nothing adds up; is Charles going crazy or does it seem that some people know him for some reason?
The story is familiar and the tale has been told several times before. "Welcome to the Hotel California." - Eagles
There is no real mystery. The value of watching this movie is to see how it is executed. Do the actors do a good job and seem real? Does the plot twist enough so you will want to catch the details?
I found it fun to watch but nothing exceptional.
