This was a well made thriller from Renny Harlin, who's previous films have sucked major, but after the almost 3-year wait, it seemed a little disappointing.

THE GOOD
-CHARACTERS - All very different and have a purpose in the plot. Except for the Australian guy, why was his character even in this?
-TWISTS - A few too many, but very interesting and intelligent.
-ATMOSPHERE - The "navy" building or whatever and the town w/ the dummies had a freaky feeling to it.  
-ENDING - I guessed the wrong character.
-THE SCORE - Pretty good.

THE BAD
-DEATHS - Over-the-top to the extreme! Some were cool(SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) like Nicole, Bobby, and Vince, but others like J.D. and the Australian guy were a little generic and stupid. How can someone possibly drain blood from a whole human in a few hours?
-DIALOGUE - Extremely laughable at times.
-LL/JOHNNY - Their fight scene was SO overly done, but yet a little cool, but oh so fake!
-THE CATS - Not a big thing, but seriously, what the hell?

Overall, a pretty good thriller for the year. Check it out if you like bloody thrillers.
