Review of Dark Waters

Dark Waters (2003 Video)
1/10
Underestimates the audience
21 January 2006
I think, I have seen a lot of movies by now. But this one has to be one of worse if not the worst. The first scene of the movie shows the poor special effects that you'll see for the rest of the movie. Even though I am not native English speaker, I noticed how fake the acting was. I think I laughed for the first 20 minutes of the movie for that reason. I was thinking of it, as a parody of horror movies, but it is classified as a horror/action movie. The subject of the movie could be exploited much better. Unluckily, they were mostly worried to make the two main actors look like the hottest couple on earth. Well, the actress is indeed hot, and I don't doubt for many ladies the guy might be hot too. However, that's not what a movie is made of.

The plot underestimates the audience, the end of the movie is highly predictable (almost from the beginning). The danger does not seem to scare the fearless heroes, even though this kind of heroes passed to history since Steven Seagal and Harrison Ford in the early 90's.

In conclusion, do not expect anything from this movie. It is just disappointing. If you want to see the "hot" actors that will be all the reward you will have for your money.
