Hello you, person who has good taste in movies and is looking for something of genuine quality, and not just something to kill 2 hours. You want an actual good movie.

Why do producers/script writers feel the need to make characters stupid in order to create tension in movies in nowadays? Shouldn't the movie's script me strong enough on it's own to create intelligent tension?

That's what you get with this movie. In order to provide many of the tense scenes, the characters must be made to do extraordinarily stupid things. The kind that make you want to either murder the characters yourself, or shut the movie off.

Yes I read the book. Yes I loved it. Yes I wanted to like this movie, for that very reason, but the book didn't have stupid characters doing stupid things to create tense moments.

I would give this a 5.5 if IMDB allowed decimal scoring. Check out my other reviews to see if we have similar taste in movies. Use this information as the deciding factor of how much weight you put in my review.

"Blindness" is a FAR superior movie.
