Jennifer Lopez in half decent movie shocker!
By David Levy from Totteridge, London , 23 Oct 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Jennifer Lopez. Not since Pauly Shore has a person's name above a film title provked such hysteria and apprehension. It is a little understandable, given her poor choices of late; but there was a time when she was an actress, and not a bad one at that.
The Cell is the kind of film Jennifer Lopez probably will not do for some time. It's edgy, dark and all together interesting. Its striking visuals and serial killer 'race against the clock' plotline evoke memories of a similar, though superior movie - 'Seven'. In Jennifer Lopez (2000 vers.), The Cell possessed a leading lady both beautiful and dramatic, easily able to carry what is certainly an unconventional movie on her slight shoulders.
The Cell is not a perfect movie. In fact, its predestrian storyline is only made interesting by the Dali-like film that Tarsem Singh paints on our screen. His creative eye washes over even the most basic of scenes, making them fascinating to watch.
If you like your movies a little 'twisted', and would like to see something that will affect you both visually and mentally, you could do a lot worse than The Cell. It's not a movie that will change your life, but it is certainly one you won't forget in a hurry- Was this review helpful to you?

By Kinkyfish (112 reviews) from York, England , 15 Aug 2012Edited very well and visually very stunning. Unfortunately the story is nothing to special and it does have overtly fetishised sexual connotations, sold to us, the viewer, in a very dark light. Its no wonder the BDSM community get a raw deal. I wouldn't bother to be honest unless you are watching it purely for the editing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Jenny from the (cell) block.
By gingerspike (414 reviews) from Grimsby , 06 Feb 2012This isn't the kind of film I'd usually rent (eg, sci-fi film starring Jennifer Lopez!) but I caught a few minutes of the end of this on the tv one night and thought it looked okay. Needles to say, my first thoughts of not renting such a film were indeed correct. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really that good. I watched it, I quickly forgot it!- Was this review helpful to you?

Brilliant film
By pinksian1981 (6 reviews) from Swindon , 23 Jan 2012What a great film.
J Lo steps out of her usual Romantic Comedy roles and along with Vince Vaughan provide great viewing.
The visuals are amazing (same director as the box office hit Immortals).- Was this review helpful to you?

Disturbing Journey...
By Cabes (7 reviews) from Bournemouth , 09 Feb 2011Quite possibly one of the best films Ive ever seen!! Not even the fact that Jennifer Lopez or Vince Vaughn are in it ruined it for me, like they do most films!! To be honest, they both play there roles exceptionally well, especially Lopez.
A touch of sci-fi technology gets the film going, and progresses it beyong sci-fi to psychological phriller and even horror in some places.
Based in the mind of a serial killer, Carl Stargher (D'Onofrio) is an idealised version of himself, A dark king in a twisted kingdom! And this is where all the fun happens!
Multiple weird and wonderful costumes and sets, with an amazing imgained story and plot, Im am so glad I had a chance to see this, and I can not beleive that I hadnt heard of this before. This should have been a massive box office hit!
Ill be trying to get all my friends to watch this.

A Disturbing Ride
By filmsaremypassion (149 reviews) from Bexhill , 15 Sep 2010How far would you go to risk everything, inculding your life? This is the dilemina Jennifer Lopez is going through as she enters the mind of a serial killer (Vincent D'Onofrio) to discover a truely terrifying world he creates while also trying to figure out where he has placed a kidnapped girl. Vince Vaughn is the cop who asks for her help. This is a disturbing, visually stunning and strangely beautiful film from the excellent director Tarsem who also made The Fall. Mature viewers only for this as it can be very distressing and some images are pretty unsettling which isn't for the faint hearted. But this is highly recommended from me to check out if you haven't seen it yet.- Was this review helpful to you?
