So So

Mysteria is not an especially good movie. Washed up writer gets somehow involved in a weird mystery and intrigue.

Problem is, the murder suspect has an airtight alibi -- from the murder victim! But no one seems to care. That's how poorly written this is! The film is full of holes like swiss cheese.

That said, it might be worth a peak on a rainy day when you have nothing to do and the internet is down so you can't get to your porn.

The film includes a bunch of washed up or third rates actors in their own right like that racist bigot Danny Glover who can't act himself out of a paper bag. Somehow he thinks that struggling to speak above a whisper is a thespian skill! The film is directed a bit like a film noir, it's a bit reminiscent of Angel Heart, and stylized in a way that's somewhat appealing. Maybe that's what kept me from turning it off, because the story line is poorly written. None of the actor's actions make sense or are believable.
