So Imbecilic and Absurd That Becomes Funny

Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia) is a brilliant medical student graduated in Harvard with a training period in Lagos, Africa, and a lovely fiancée, Gwen Williamson (Alyssa Milano), from a wealthy and influent family. When he joins the Medical Center of the Metropolitan University for a residence in Pathology and Forensics, he becomes the pride and joy of his professor Dr. Quentin Morris (John de Lancie); however the star of the residence Jake Gallo (Michael Weston) becomes jealous with the newcomer. Nevertheless sooner he invites Ted to participate with four other residents in a deadly game, where each participant should commit the perfect crime without any clue of the "modus-operandi" of the murder, and the others investigate the corpse in the dungeon of the hospital. Further, Ted has wild sex with Jake's girlfriend and teammate of the game Juliette Bath (Lauren Lee Smith). When Gwen decides to move to Ted's apartment, he decides to leave the group, but he finds resistance.

"Patholog" is so imbecilic and absurd that becomes funny; unfortunately the intention of the writers and the director is not a black-humor movie, but a suspenseful thriller with elements of horror. The plot begins with a citation of The Hippocratic Oath, and then there is a brief description of the curriculum-vitae of Ted Grey, but never a character development. Therefore, it is totally unreasonable his attitude joining the deranged Jake Gallo and his friends in a sick game. There is no explanation why a future doctor with his profile – Harvard, experience overseas, gorgeous and wealthy fiancée – would throw his future in the garbage for a dysfunctional resident that is not his friend – actually he is his enemy. And how could the six residents frequently access the morgue for autopsies without any control from the staff of the hospital? My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Autópsia de um Crime" ("Autopsy of a Crime")
