Review of The Ferryman

The Ferryman (2007)
3/10
Lost me when they killed the Dog

Warning: Spoilers
Any movie that has to kill a dog to tell us the bad guy is a bad guy really isn't very good.

the real problem with this movie is that you figure this whole thing out before the characters do.. and it makes you wonder how dumb the characters are.

The plot is that a guy has lived thousands of years cheating death by transferring his consciousness into other bodies. It starts off with stealing the body of John Rhys-Davies, an otherwise good actor who is just collecting a check here. bad sign when your name actor is barely qualifying for "cameos" like a day player.

Anyway, a group of six people on a yacht pick up a distress call from JRD, who then proceeds to jump from one body to another, and killing folks for no real good reason. And the dog. because killing a dog always makes your movie more enjoyable.

Oh, the ending, the two surviving character decide to steal the bad guy's magic so they can live forever. because obviously, the horrific events of the film didn't get the point across.
