I've marked The Butterfly Effect as another fine example of critics writing their reviews before they watch/finish a movie.
Ashton Kutcher is a polarizing figure. It seems that the debate over this film's credibility ended at his talent. He isn't Cruise, De Niro, or any other A-List star, but he effectively gets the job done. Still, many chose to subtract points instantly because of what they heard in the media before this even hit the market.
'Butterfly' uses a lot of surprise cuts throughout that will keep most folks anticipating the next loud bang or horrible turn of events. Call it cheating if you will, but I think it adds a roller coaster element to the movie that really keeps you watching.
There was an above-par mix of action, humor, drama, and adrenaline that helped it through the slower moments that intrude a little after the midpoint.
Just give the damn movie a chance people. Don't let prejudiced critics do the acting.
