A summary, thanks to Netflix: "A criminal psychologist (Halle Berry) awakens to find that she's a patient in the same mental institution where she works; she's being accused of murdering her husband (Charles S. Dutton), but has no memory of committing the murder as she tries to regain her memory and convince her co-workers of her innocence, a vengeful spirit uses her as an earthly pawn, which further convinces everyone of her guilt."
Are you into horror/suspense flicks that are, thankfully, not gory? Do you have rather low expectations as to dialogue when watching same? Have you consumed a little wine during the opening credits?
If you can answer "yes" to all of these, you probably will think this movie is okay. The dialogue was pretty cheesy. RDJR's character never really did anything useful, other than to provide the momentary "is he actually the bad guy?" diversion. There were parts where you really didn't know what/why/when. But - it was entertaining.
And, hello, when people come back in spirit form to avenge their deaths, they are supposed to be NICE to the person who is helping them exact their vengeance. DUH. Everyone knows that, except the screenplay writer in this case.
Would I run right out and rent it? Probably not. But if it comes on HBO some night, and you have nothing better to do, go ahead and watch it.
I give it a 6.
