    One great work of drama and phycological horror here. This is one Jennifer Lopez film I actually really enjoyed. The story is a bit choppy in some parts but it succeeds beyond in its other elements.

    I watched this movie because I loved Tarsem's new movie, "The Fall," and wanted to see if his first movie lived up. Long story short, it doesn't - but just barely. "The Cell" has better visuals than "The Fall," but the story wasn't nearly as good. While interesting, I didn't care about the characters half as much as I cared about the characters in "The Fall" and every once in a while, I wondered if they were just an elaborate excuse for pretty pictures.

    You know, for all the movies in the 90's that got made about serial killers, I can't think of any after "Silence Of The Lambs", that did anything at all interesting, with the exception of "The Cell".

    The mind is a prison, and only J-Lo can naviga...(read more)te it's bizzare and grotesque and classically inspired landscapes, to free the child within. This could be the description to a number of children's fantasy films, if the child in question, were not within the psyche of a man who drowns women, hangs by his skin over their corpses and ejaculates on them as he watches recordings of them struggle.

    Full of uncommon ugliness and beauty, this sci-fi, cop, pop psychobable extravangaza, somehow makes it's odd cast and visuals into something coherent and entertaining, much like Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element", where if you repeat the events of the film to yourself they don't add up to much, but the actual "watching" of the film and seeing all of the elements interconnect, make up for any slack in the story. I watched this again after "The Fall", and realized I'd never really given this a fair shake, but even Jennifer Lopez does a decent job here. If youve seen this, give it another shot, if you haven't see it. It's fruit for the eyes (which is different from CGI candy), and all the better for you.

    Thought it would be scarier... it was pretty good though. Very interesting premise and Vincent D'Onofrio was great!

    Gorgeous visuals, but the plot's exceedingly thin. J-Lo doesn't try to act - which is just as well - instead, she prances about in a variety of fabulous costumes, pouting, posing. Meanwhile, there's a cock-and-bull serial killer-meets-virtual reality storyline going on. Dylan Baker and Jake Weber manage to break out of their usual respective cop and doctor typecasting - this time, Baker's the doc and Weber's the cop!
