I'm at the mall yesterday to meet some friends for a little bonding, coffee and of course to relax. While doing a window shopping, inadvertently our feet walked us at SM cinema and for some reason we were intrigue at the poster of this movie, MIRRORS. Actually we don't have plans watching movie, but others insisted. So just to give you an insight about the movie, here's a little review and synopsis.
24 series lead actor Kiefer Sutherland stars in this horrifying movie about discovering the mystery of evil spirits behind the MIRRORS. This movie is actually a remake of South Korean 2003 film GEOUL SOKEURO with a subtitle "INTO THE MIRROR".
Sutherland, plays as Ben Carson, a former NYPD cop whose trying to get over of his fatal past caused by accidentally killing a fellow policeman. in order to support his two young kids (played by EricaGluck and Cameron Boyce) and estranged wife Amy (played by Paula Patton), he accepted a night shift job as a security officer to work at Mayflower, a burned out and closed down shopping mall.
Bringing alone his gun and flashlight, Carson patrols every night inside the dark and scorched shopping mall surrounded by numbers of undamaged huge mirrors. Soon he discovered that there are malevolent spirits behind these mirrors trying to connect to the human world. these evil forces started to communicate with him and started to put his family's life in danger. In exchange to his family's life, these evil forces wanted him to find a person named "Esseker". With his investigation, he found out that Mayflower site was previously a psychiatric hospital where unusual experiments are being practiced to patients using mirrors.. (
opppss! i should hold up my horses, i might spoil the whole story)Actually Sutherland gives justice for his role and he's good as Jack Bauer in his series 24. so a big credit for him. But with Patton, she's not that convincing for the role. The movie will run good without her. with regards to the script, it's not that bad but for me they should come out with a more concrete reason why the spirits behind the mirrors are acting so badly. Not a bad movie to be honest.
So the rate of the movie? i think i can give
