The Traveler

Well let me tell you, after reading all those negative reviews I tough this movie would be so bad, but I said to myself come on, rent it, I'm a fan of Val Kilmer, and to be honest I think the acting of Val Kilmer, Paul McGillion and Dylan Neal was very good, can't say the same for the rest of the crew! This movie is good, creepy, and Val does a very good job at being creepy as hell. I gave this movie a 7 stars review, because of general good acting, creepy atmosphere, gory death scene,and I had no high expectation for that movie, so it was a pleasant surprise. I do recommend people to watch this movie, don't be turned down by all the 1 star reviews.

ps: Watch it in pitch black with your girlfriend,and after the movie, whistle like Val, you're girlfriend is going to love you :)

Other reviews find this, cinematically interesting experiment, to be dull, pedestrian, and facile. I, on the contrary was stimulated by the droll, impassive - almost virtuoso performance of a man without an identity - Mr. Nobody - who appears suddenly and conveys portents of impending menace, to my mind, highly effectively. This existential anti-hero, apart from being obviously psychotic, also possesses both black and white magic - a schizoid Magus. Val Kilmer certainly brought conviction to the abstract demands of this role. While the movie is bound by the superficial conventions of the genre, I thought that it brought a certain flavor of dread that epitomizes the existentially hopeless predicament, with a piquant touch of drollery that so many jaded but sophisticated viewers find amusingly stimulating or camp in this genre. If you like Val Kilmer - who doesn't? - and the horror/ supernatural theme, then this is certainly worth watching!

I agree with most of the reviews here, the movie (and acting) is awful and it looks like they've stolen Val Kilmer from a Wax Museum.

I'm more concerned with Val Kilmers career. Val Kilmer has always been one of my favorite actors and for a while now I've been hoping for a miraculous comeback. I don't have a clue as to why he's been wasting his talents on most of the movies he has starred in for the past few years. A part of me wants to believe his appearance and recent B-movies will make for a stronger comeback when he returns physically fit and giving a strong performance in a good movie.

My favorite Val Kilmer performances:

Comanche Moon - Deja Vu - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Wonderland - The Salton Sea - Heat - Tombstone - Thunderheart - The Doors

Hopefully there will be many more to come.

How about Val Kilmer and Steven Seagal, both lean and fit starring in a good thriller/action movie? That would be something..

Val Kilmer in one of his most convincing roles. He must have been very proud to show his talent in this genius production. When he gave me the look of pure power and evilness, man that was impressive. Then again. Several Times... Getting better and better with every scene. The sounds, the actors.... even old cars. The Twist in this movie is absolutely crazy! It blew my mind! There are some scenes in this movie that will change the way people think of a person being killed with a shovel. Absolutely brilliant when they show the scenes over and over again.

If you want to kill yourself... watch this movie

This movie starts out looking rather good. 8 min later it's going downhill fast:).Everything from acting to the unreasonable use of gore is horrible. And the writers have nothing to say ,which makes you care less what happens to the characters in the movie .In a thriller that is a bad thing. But then they filled this movie with a lot of gore so it starts to look like a slasher movie just with out any of the dark comedy those films almost all have..This movie have no clear vision what it wants to be, and becomes a slow moving mass of boring.And as for Val Kilmer, well he tries but like i said the script is so bad it make everyone in it just fall flat on their faces. No one should pay to see this
