No stars if possible. Movie makes no sense. Only watched for PSH but this was his only bad acting that I have ever seen. Terrible fake accents. Don't watch.

I haven't even seen the trailer and I know this film is garbage. There was never any hope. I know the actor and he is second rate. He would ruin any script.

Not the worst ghost story I've seen but close to it. The lead actor, Aric Cushing, was also a co-writer of this film version of the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Mr. Cushing is hands down the worst actor I have ever seen. He was so bad, it was distracting. Veteran actresses Veronica Cartwright and the-always-outstanding Dale Dickey where the only reason I gave this movie 3 stars. They were great, as usual. The studio promo has "A Cult Phenomenon" on the poster. Maybe it is, in the way Plan 9 From Outer Space is a cult hit for being just awful.

It was just ok if that. I watched it because I played for it. The only talking is at first for like a half minute. His worst movie ever. And I do love him.

There's hardly ever a movie I put on my list of "worse movies ever" and It's just my opinion so please no one take it personal but this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I didn't even want to give it a star but I had to to leave a review. I used to not care much for Jason Statham in Transporter and Crank but I started liking him when Expendables came out. This just wasn't his style of movie to play in, It was soooooo boring I was trying to find stuff to do until hopefully it would speed up but it never did.

The only thing that this movie kept me guessing was "was that a spoof?" I cannot believe that Bill Paxton would not only star in, but direct this mess of a movie. I thought that Matthew McConaughey had higher standards than this also. Frailty was as dumb as they come. The acting was miserable, the directing was extremely corny and the plot lacked. The dialogue was completely unreal. This was a lousy movie. I would put it on my list as one of the ten dumbest films that I have ever seen in my life. For a better Bill Paxton role, see Apollo 13, Vertical Limit, or Twister. For better Matthew McConaughey, see A Time To Kill. Don't waste your time with this. Its R rating reflects violence and some brief profanity.

This was just about the worst movie I have ever seen.  Terrible acting and terrible action sequences make for the most boring and uninspired waste of time.  I recommend not seeing this movie... If you do not heed these words of wisdom you will immediately regret having not done so once you see the van/truck thing that the nightwatch drives around in.  I found myself laughing at this movie, and fast forwarding through the annoyingly slow parts.

A terrible movie for people who like schlock and what comes from directors who just seem to have cash thrown at them and are allowed to make movies.  People who make movies like this should be put in jail, along with the unintelligent goons who actually respond to it with delight.

This is quite honestly the first and probably only review I will ever list on this site. I chose to do so, becuase of the popularity of this site for buying movies online. As a fan of many types of movies, all I can say is, PLEASE do not waste any part of your life watching any part of this. My girlfriend has a habit of watching B-movies, movies with cheesy actors, or after school special types of flicks. I reluctantly watched this with her and I'll call this an S-movie. S stands for *@#!, Slow, Stupid, and Straight to video which is exactly where it went. It is the worst movie I have ever seen with fimiliar actors in it (except JAMES SPADER - he hasn't been familiar since we hated him in "Pretty in Pink") Don't listen to any wannabe critics hyping it up. You want a description - it resembles something brown and flushable. :-)

The acting was negligible at best. Jeff Fahey is a failure as an actor, poor soul. He scowls and gives sideways glances and stomps around and tries to be macho, but it's all for nothing. -- In the movie, his new police partner starts off by announcing he's gay, which did nothing to advance the story line, and then he tries to out macho the role Jeff Fahey plays. Fahey's character decides early on that Matlin's character probably is the bad guy, but 5 minutes later, he's totally convinced she's a straight arrow!  The script could have been written by a 7 year old and would have been an improvement. What a total waste of Marlee Matlin! Even she couldn't save this tripe.

Unlike all the other reviews I had read about this "live action " movie, I have to say that his movie is terrible. The whole time I'm watching it and thinking--"Initial D is a Japanese animation and a Japanese concept and they couldn't find appropriate Japanese actors and actresses to fill the roles in the live movie?"  I find the Chinese version to be completely off the mark in its interpretation of the characters and overall tone of the original animated series. This movie stinks. I can't say enough about how awful it is.  First of all, Tak's dad, Bunta, was never portrayed as an abusive alcoholic in the original. He was stern, but likeable.  I don't know where the movie makers got this from. There are many other discrepencies. Also, the overall tone of the orignal was lighthearted and young--this movie is too serious. This movie was Japanese and the Chinese interpretation has completely ruined it. I now have to go back and watch the animated version to remind myself how wonderful the original Inital D was and is.

I don't know by what process he picks his movies but Mr. Depp may have well lost a bet to have been in this one.  His movie 'Deadman' is the only movie I've seen of his that, in my opinion, ranks below this one.  This piece of drivel is rotten from start to finish.  The combination of no likeable characters and non-nonsensical action scenes spliced together haphazardly and mixed with scenes that were better suited for the cutting room floor make this movie the sort that only stoners, drunks, and masochists could enjoy for any extended amount of time. And I'm being nice.

Love Paul walker but the acting in this was pretty bad by everyone else. Fight scenes were cool but that's about it.

Bad acting from PSH as an unrealistic German (bad accent, doesn't have European mannerisms really bad inflections. Bad script: they made lots of bad choices from the book and the dialogue was awful not giving me the sense that Hoffman was German.

Totally unsatisfying.
The book BTW, is brilliant, read it instead.

This movie is poo. Bottomline. But its that funny poo thats only funny when one of your friends stepped in it. Idon't know where these people are getting off sayin that Master P has EVER had any good movies (Foolish was so-so at best). I saw this movie on TV and I was laughing my ass off! Even the "sad" parts are funny.

Everything else is predictable and the acting, oh my please please do not get on the acting.

If there were negative stars I would give this move a negative 10 or something. But if your high or drunk or just want a good laugh and a laugh that will make tears comming out your eyes check this out.

Otherwise if your looking for a good gangsta flick drink bleach before watching this crap!
