Review of Skinwalkers

Skinwalkers (2006)
2/10
Another movie to add to the junk pile.
3 August 2007
This movie is yet another example of the Hollywood money machine churning out movies that are designed to make cash over quality. Even though there is nothing new and nothing at all original about this movie, it was nicely packaged and sent out anyway.

The characters in the movie are shallow and unexceptional. As a viewer, I was left with no emotions about any of them whatsoever, except for one. The mother, played by Rhona Mitra, was irrational up to the point of being acutely annoying.

The disastrous script had the characters acting strangely at times, doing things that belied the essence of what they were meant to be and how people in their situation might have behaved. The script was so completely slanted that I won't even comment on the acting as this wouldn't be fair or accurate on the actors.

Overall, this movie was a huge waste of time for me. It didn't even fall into the 'mindless action movie' category that I can sit through when I don't wish to focus on anything in particular.

My thoughts of this movie summed up into one sentence would be: "Bad guys in leather jackets on motorbikes with guns.... and they're werewolves!" *cringe*
