    An interesting study in how bad a movie can turn. It starts strong but reveals its main themes and characters way too late in the game and rushes to catch up with itself ultimately taking the suspense of "crazy or not?" way too far. The exposition is heavy handed, the raison d'etre of the town of Wander is barely touched and could have been so much more fleshed out. It ends up just a mish mash of loose ends and half thoughts.

    "Wander" is a film that boasts a talented cast, including Aaron Eckhart, Tommy Lee Jones, and Heather Graham, but unfortunately fails to deliver a compelling story or engaging characters. The film follows Eckhart's character, Arthur Bretnik, a private investigator who becomes obsessed with a conspiracy theory involving a cult and a series of mysterious deaths. Despite the potential for an intriguing thriller, "Wander" ultimately falls flat. The pacing is slow, and the story lacks any real tension or suspense. The characters are also underdeveloped, with little explanation or motivation for their actions. Eckhart delivers a solid performance as Arthur, but his character is ultimately undermined by a convoluted and poorly executed plot. Tommy Lee Jones, while always a welcome presence on screen, is given little to do in his role as a government agent investigating Arthur's claims. The film's attempts at social commentary are heavy-handed and often feel out of place, adding to the overall disjointed feel of the story. The ending is unsatisfying, leaving too many loose ends and unanswered questions. In conclusion, "Wander" is a missed opportunity, failing to deliver on its promising premise and talented cast. Despite some strong performances, the film ultimately falls short in its execution and leaves the audience feeling underwhelmed.

    Nice to see that Heather Graham is still hot and that NM looks wide and wonderful. But the movie itself is an increasing mess of odd turns and self-delusions.

    A bit hard to keep up with but very suspenseful.
