Mirrors
This is a totally gripping movie from beginning to end, with an unexpected twist in the end. After Kiefer's character is involved in a shooting incident while working as a cop, he find his life completely turned on its' head. He is sleeping on his baby sister's couch, and is estranged from his wife and kids.
In an attempt to get his life back on track,he takes on a job as a night security guard at a derelict burnt down buidling that was once a grandiose department store, before it was burnt down. On his rounds he starts seeing (and feeling) things in the mirrors.When his sister turns up dead in the bath in a horrific way, he is put on the path to discover the hidden secrets behind these mirrors. He discovers that the burnt down department store used to be a psychiatric hospital in the 50's with a man who engineered a method of therapy that involved treating patients with mirrors. Everyone in the hospital was killed in the most horrific massacre and so the hospital was sht down. The only clue Kiefer's character has got is the name 'Esseker' and the ticking clock of time quickly catching up on him.He must do all he can to get to the bottom of this puzzle or lose his family! Brilliant. A must see! -

Mirrors
Sutherland plays a police detective who has been suspended from the servie following a shooting incident. This presumaby explains why he is working as a caretaker on the site of a derelict building but carries a gun at work and home, can fire this multiple times during daylight outside his house in a respectable neighbourhood without attracting any police attention, can call on former colleagues to search police databases and records, is able to visit a psychiatric institution and be told the medical history of a former patient and so on. His ability to survive fire, explosions, flooding and building collapse, never mind malignant entities residing in mirrors (the interior rear-view mirror of his car, for example, although not apparently the wing mirrors), defies belief. Still, at least he didn't have a teenage daughter to be kidnapped/abducted - in a change from 24, it is a young son who is the focus of evil attention.
