Mirrors

[Costanza]

So this is out now and there's only one review

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/review/770

The one thing that stands out more than anything else in MIRRORS is Kiefier Sutherland, who puts on one of his worst performances ever. He must have been shooting this movie in between episodes of “24” because Jack Bauer makes more than one appearance. Fox could literally recut MIRRORS, add the ticking clock between scenes and call it “24: The Exorcism” and have the first feature film in theaters this Friday. Sutherland is seriously horrid in this film and it’s hard to know whether he or Aja should be blamed. It’s unclear why he’s so “angry,” but Sutherland literally screams through every scene. What was learned is that if you yell at someone loud enough, you will eventually get your way. Watching Sutherland act was like watching a 3-year-old scream for more ice cream. His rants range from ending scenes with “shit,” to yelling at nun while pointing a gun at her, “You’re coming with me, NOW!” He moans, yells, screams, punches steering wheels and shoots the mirrors. One sequence that will forever been embedded as a classic in bad cinema is when Sutherland exclaims, “I need to take care of something,” and proceeds to beat the living crap out of the giant mirror at the department store. He throws chairs at it, punches it, screams at it and eventually shoots it – it’s laughably bad.

 

I'm gonna have to see this today.

It's laughably bad, as in Laughably Awesome sounding.  Who doesn't want to see Jack Bauer shoot ghosts with handguns?

The review I posted was totally spot on about Sutherland's performance being hilarious, and you get to see Amy Smart's ass!

Even with the unintentional hilarity, I really ended up liking the movie more than I thought I would... it's probably a 6/10. Just don't go in expecting anything more than Jack Bauer and a few cool gore-filled scenes.
