Tricks of the Mind, 30 April 2008

Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

After presenting his new project to his producers, the controversial, arrogant and bad tempered director Derek Plato (Julian McMahon) decides to visit the location in an abandoned prison in Tennessee. While visiting the decay place, Derek is captured by a mysterious Jailer (Elias Koteas) that forces him to tell the beginning of his career and his relationship with his mother to his camera, disclosing hidden secrets in the mind of Derek.

"Prisoner" is a creepy mystery movie with a promising story, good actors and actresses but terrible and noisy edition. The intention is great of a man that somehow discovers secrets he had buried and forgotten in his mind, but the screenplay is confused and pointless and the noise in every flashback is annoying. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "A Sete Chaves" ("At Seven Keys")

A decent actor in a good movie, 4 January 2008

Author: eminembugz from United States

I found this movie to be fairly good, due to the fact that it has one of my favorite actors in it, and had a fairly good plot with an unusual twist. I think it was more of a mystery movie then a horror, because it was leaving me wondering exactly "Why is this person doing this?" without any hint in the beginning of the movie of what exactly was going on. The actors did a good job, but you WILL need to sit through the whole movie to get a full understanding of what the whole point of being held prisoner is all about. To make a long story short, I am glad I got to see this movie because it was a little different then all the other horror movies recently released. If you like mystery/horror type movies, this is the one for you.
