Review of The Invisible (2007) by Chads. — 26 Apr 2007
To my utter amazement, "The Invisible" isn't another lame horror movie; what's even more amazing, it's not even lame. I know absolutely nothing about "Den Onsynlige", but the American version of this Swedish import resembles "La Femme Nikita" meets "Ghost".
Annie(Margarita Levieva) is a blonde, so technically speaking, "The Invisible" is "Point of no Return"(with Bridget Fonda, a blonde, taking over for Anne Parillaud, a brunette) meets "Ghost".
Annie is such a petulant, hateful speciment of a girl, audiences will be taken aback because this is the sort of role that's usually filled by an African-American or Latino actress. Annie is like a cheerleader gone bad.
To my surprise, "The Invisible" contains only one flat-out stupid moment: The person who calls the police should be the last person to do so. Otherwise, there's really nothing else to howl(too loudly) about.
How "The Invisible" riffs on "Ghost" is sort of fun: Pete(Chris Marquette) stabs Nick in the back(like Carl stabbed Sam Wheat) and causes his "death", but he didn't mean his friend any harm; and Annie(who looks nothing like Whoopie Goldberg) is used as a conduit to deliver a message to the living just like the fortune teller.
"The Invisible" also earns extra points for not ending on an entirely happy note.
