Whadda want? Mickey Mouse? OK. Watch Disney. This remake of Roman Polanski's Nosz na wodye, Knife in the Water is SUPPOSED to be dark, dark, dark. C'mon. What did the whiners expect? More Mary Poppins? Rickman is his usual fantastic self. Polly Walker and Norman Reedus are a great complement in this voyage into the depths of the wasteland. This is an excellent film-- in the sense of the acting, filming and the balance of things. But, it's also ghastly because it delves into the ghastly aspects of the human condition. It's not supposed to be nice, entertaining, fun or up-lifting. It's supposed to be dark, dark, dark. And it is. For my part, I hated it. It bored me, disgusted me and made me confront the same demons that hide out in the darker recess of my own soul and there ain't nothing more painful to meet things you don't like in yourself.
