Dark moody atmosphere let down by random ending
5 January 2014
John (Richard Gere) and Mary Klein (Debra Messing) are happily married and about to buy a house. Then he sees a vision and crashes the car. Two years after her car crash death, John is driving but loses track and get stranded in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Strange things have been happening there. Gordon (Will Patton) have had visions, and sheriff Connie Mills (Laura Linney) is trying to make sense of it all.

This is a slow atmospheric moody movie. I like the dark mood, but it moves a little too slow. The problem is that the final reveal is not as compelling as the build up telegraphs. The action is not big enough or exciting enough. It's too chaotic to follow. And there is nothing he could do to predict the outcome anyways. So the ending is very random. And the whole true story is questionable at best.
