The Skulls By Dean Kish
A Secret Society dwells among the hallowed halls of the college Ivy Leagues. But when one rebellious member decides that it isnt for him. Can he escape? This is the loose story of Universal Pictures The Skulls. Joshua Jackson (Pacey on Dawsons Creek) stars as Lucas McNamara. Lucas fears that he can t finish law school and his only alternative seems to be that he joins an underground society more corrupt than college fraternities. But when his roommate is killed for trying to infiltrate the society Lucas has had enough. I have to give Jackson and the likeable cast credit they actually made me believe that they were taking this plot seriously. What I mean is that the Skulls is one of those thrillers that has a great setup and likeable cast but no third act to clinch the story. Instead as Jackson gets in deeper the plot becomes more predictable. In a thriller, arent we supposed to be shocked and dismayed by the hidden key elements as they unravel? From the time that Jackson and his onscreen love interest Chloe (Leslie Bibb) have that steamy shower scene I knew where the plot was going. The only thing that shocked me is how predictable each step to the finale was.
Live by the rules, die by the rules, barks William Peterson to Jackson as he makes his break. Wasnt he supposed to be there to break the rules? A skull above no other! is another goofy line delivered as members salute their inauguration. Some how I dont think this film will be above any other at the box office. (2.5 of 5) So Says the Soothsayer.
