I felt as though I should watch it again to figure out plot elements that I really didn't get, hints of things that may or may not have happened. But I didn't, because I just wasn't that interested.
I guess that mental hospitals are popular as sites for movies because there must be lots of vacant sanitoria lying around the country that you can rent for cheap. And this movie seemed quite cheap.
What is it about Denis Leary? He so unsympathetic, such an overactor, such an emoter. He has the right to exist, but I've never seen him in anything where I enjoyed watching the guy act. And when he speaks as himself, as a guest on a talk show, he's even less sympathetic.
Hope Davis was her usual bland self.
But there are a few elements of the plot that I didn't get, and I didn't go back to figure out: (SPOILER)
1. Is there a prior relation between Bill and Ann? Specifically, is Bill the father of Ann?
2. Is Ann an unfrozen person, who once had some relation to Bill?
3. What's with Ann's sister? Was she frozen, but now having troubles? Is she really Ann's sister, or her mother, via Bill?
As you can see, I missed something. I'm not good at sci-fi mysteries. So blame it on me.
Jim McGaffin as the orderly was perfect.
