Review of Red Lights

Red Lights (2012)
1/10
This Movie Stinks!
8 March 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Wow, I thought, a movie with Robert DeNiro and Sigourney Weaver, along with a topic about a Psychic (DeNiro), and a Physicist (Weaver) trying to prove that all Pyschics are frauds, what could be better? I couldn't be more wrong. The entire plot is summarized above, along with a minor sub- plot about Weaver's character's son, and that's about it. This movie takes the thin plot and goes nowhere. You can't identify with the characters, the special effects are lame, the attempts to make it scary are pathetic, and the whole thing is a disaster! Even the final "big reveal" at the end is such a letdown (it's like the writer/director) was a fan of "The Sixth Sense), that this movie just goes nowhere. SPOILER ALERT: I really think that Weaver must have realized how bad the movie is and asked for her character to be killed off in the middle of the movie to try to save some face. DeNiro is at his worst, and the lead--played by some unknown Irish guy, is too homely and way overacts, to play a leading man. Don't waste your time. This movie stinks!
