Goofs

In the beginning when the newspaper clipping are flashed onscreen, only the titles are edited. The content under the titles has nothing to do with the movie. Palestine, NASDAQ and the Internet Technology Association of America are a few examples of the real topics of the article titled "Young heroin Joan Burrows grateful to be alive; sorrowful", for example.

not bad.

Saw it today, in Russia it is all over the theaters and to be honest, I wasn't disappointed. Do not expect suspense. Do not expect that much HORROR itself - there was gore, a god awful amount of gory torturing. Angela Bettis was surprisingly not as good as she usually is (May; Girl, Interrupted), but she fit the character pretty well. Bliss Blanton glows and shines, I've never seen her in a movie before, but she was extremely pretty. The plot.. well, it keeps you entertained. And, as I saw it in 3D, I was exited and pleased to see things actually look like they were in front of me, plus the titles and the cast in the intro flying right into your face is pretty spectacular - I found myself smiling as I didn't experience much of 3D action (Spy Kids were not as 3D as this one) and it was nice. Do not expect much, expect a good 3D (no full presence, for Christ's sake, they didn't have an opportunity to suddenly bring three-dimensional to a new absolutely amazing level), expect a gore fest (I found myself turning away in a few scenes, it was gorier than the "Saw" series was") and you won't be disappointed. No masterpiece, pretty enjoyable overall.
