Review of Mirrors

MIRRORS (2008) *1/2 Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel, Jason Flemyng, Tim Ahern, Julian Glover, Josh Cole, Ezra Buzzington. Pretty crummy 'J horror' adaptation by filmmaker Alexandre Aja – who co-wrote with Gregory Levasseur based on Sung-ho Kim's film "Into the Mirror") about a disgraced NYC cop (guess who) who takes on a night-shift security guard position in a haunted burned ruin of a department store that's titular reflective surfaces are harboring some pretty angry spirits. Laughable execution for the most part and forgettable; the film only merits a ½ star more for the nasty (literally) jaw-dropping sequence involving Smart.
