Review: The Invasion
Remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, now in a contemporary setting, but seemingly less scary. It’s basically your average predictable thriller, lacking depth of character or psychological impact. Even the scares aren’t that well executed. As a failed product in its first run, rewrites and reshoots didn’t really help it either. Creative editing seems to work, but overuse of it actually disturbs the flow. Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig do their best, and Jackson Bond proves himself as a cute talent on his first outing on the silver screen, but that alone can’t make this movie surpass the ordinary.7-.
