Just perfect...

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

To say that this film is based on, or has any relevance to Alice in Wonderland is really misleading. The only connection I can see is that the killer has taken on the name Jabberwocky, and one of the victims was named Alice. Beyond that, it's just a simple serial killer mystery with some paranormal stuff thrown in without much thought for making that part of it seem terribly believable (anyone who has real life experience with psychometry will know what I mean). Regardless of these criticisms, it still could have been a fair movie, but the dialog was so poorly written that it was actually painful to listen to. I gave this film a 2 instead of a 1, because it did hold my interest enough to keep me seeing it through to the end (although just barely), but all in all, it's one for the rubbish heap. With so many good films out there, why waste your time with one that is so sub-standard?

I really liked this movie. If other people want to give it an average around 5.0/10 that's their choice. I would give it higher. Sutherland's performance as a private eye is totally awesome. The story is amazing, human, exciting, intelligent. The dialogue is good. The story might not be perfect but anyway - the mood of the movie is good enough to compensate for that. Moreover, the ending is incredibly cool and their the jig-saw puzzle really comes back to together. So anyway I liked it. I also thought the female lead actress performed very well. I'm not a big fan of detective movies but this one was really good, also because it doesn't give a damn about conventions of the supernatural.

ANOTHER great performance by Kiefer Sutherland. I love his movies, because he always plays his role very well. For a low budget film, this was done very good, and kept me on the edge the whole time. I love these type of movies, and I was glad I caught it on. I'll be buying the dvd or tape for sure.9/10.

This film is cringingly bad. You can tell that all the actors are embarrassed to be associated with such a truly terrible movie. There are obvious budget constraints but with a little thought and attention to detail the movie could have been so much better. For example: check out the scene where Mickey first goes to the mortuary and is talking to his friend the pathologist whilst the murdered taxi driver is lying on the slab. You can actually see the corpse breathing! What, couldn't they afford to hire a half-decent extra that could hold his breath for a 2 minute scene?!
