Review of Godsend (2014) by Mloy X — 29 Mar 2014

Jessie Duncan (Rebecca Romaijn): What took you so long?

Paul Duncan (Greg Kinnear): I ran into an old student, I got held up.

I remembered a time when I would watch anything Greg Kinnear did because I was so in-love with this actor after having watched him in the "Sabrina" remake. He's a great actor and he wasn't bad in this one either. Rebecca Romijn is a hit-or-miss kind of actress but she didn't do too poorly in this one. Robert De Niro is normally a great actor but I think he went a little too cheesy in this one, a little too melodramatic. I liked the premise of the story and the acting wasn't too bad but it felt too slow and a lot of plot was dragged out too much. Although, I must admit, there were some pretty good scary moments in the film which I found thoroughly enjoyable; but other than that, this was a pretty luck-luster movie and it was difficult to root for or even relate any of the characters.
