Dragonflies (Subtitled) (DVD)

Advantages: It will finally end
Disadvantages: Not until your brain freezes up

...Oh the fear and the horror, the intrigue and the suspense. Where were they? Like a poor and painfully stretched episode of the X files, Dragonfly lurches from one predictable twist to another led by the charmless Costner. Is it an overdose of Botox that has done this to the once lauded actor? Is it design that causes the most emotionless 'performance' since 'Waterworld'? Or is it a wooden actor attempting to stiffen his ‘craft’ further in order to imitate the glory of ‘The Sixth Sense’. Sadly it is so far from achieving this, that the film becomes a parody of itself. A quick synopsis of the film: Costner's philanthropic doctor wife is missing presumed dead in the South American Jungle, whilst selflessly putting her medical degree to use in one of the poorest areas of the world.

Advantages: Supernatural thriller, great storyline, good suspense.
Disadvantages: Could have done with more extras, they all seemed to be rather short

...at the right moments, nervous, sad, and happy, grab the tissues, and yes it takes you through your emotions. So this film is supernatural, but it is also romantic and dramatic. The box calls it a suspense filled thriller. Well I will have to leave it up to you to decide. If you have not guessed it by now I absolutely loved this film and would highly recommend it, especially to anyone that enjoys a good love story or haunting. ~~ DVD Extras: ~~ I should mention that at the beginning of my copy I have two movie trailers to sit through before getting to the film, they lasted approx 5 minutes. Scene Selection - Considering the film is 100 minutes long, there was only 12 scenes to choose from. ~~ Set Up ~~ Languages - comes in English, German and Italian Subtitles - English, French, Italian, German, Czech, Spanish, Hungarian...

Advantages: It has Kevin Kostner If You ike Him
Disadvantages: no thrills, no shocks, no suspense, no mystery

...tell you is going to be somewhat painful. Willis' role was very downbeat, but being dead he had an excuse, Kostner's idea of upbeat is an Armish knees-up so seeing him deliberatly play downbeat had 'painful' written all over it. The combination of these elements gives you...thats right, yet another contender for the Turkey of the Year award! Thankfully I didn't pay to see it because Dragonfly can be described as 'weak' at best, bloody awful if you are being slightly more realistic. Its the kind of suspense thriller which relies heavily upon an ever growing feeling of suspense and the way it keeps you guessing right until the very end with spooky supernatural elements thrown into the mix toshake things up a little. The big problem being that no suspense is built up when 10 minutes into the movie you have a rather good idea what... Read review
