[QUOTE="Shadowdancer, post: 791313, member: 515"] This was explained in the movie, if you were paying attention. Jonsey -- the real Jonsey, not Mr. Grey -- warned Henry telepathecially that something was wrong. Then Henry heard the Mr. Grey voice inside his head. He got suspicious, then hid. While I agree with you, Fenros, that this movie was pretty crappy, I disagree with a couple of your complaints. Such as the visual representation of Jonsey's memory - I thought that was an interesting addition to the movie. And just because a certain style of camera shot or effect is used primarily in one genre or type of movie, that's no reason it can't be used in other movies. I didn't find the tracking device shot of the gun's interior to be distracting or out of place. In fact, if it had shown more innovation like this, I might've liked it more. But probably not. Both me and my wife had a hard time staying awake for the last hour of this movie. It was very predictable, very cliched, and very poorly done. I was very disappointed, and certainly wished I hadn't wasted any money on it. The problems with Mr. Grey hiding inside Jonsey, and the fact that Duddits was actually an alien, raised too many questions which weren't answered. And as Fenros already said, the Duddits' lukemia was something the other characters should have known about beforehand, but apparently didn't. And I didn't think the flashback sequences were handled very well. They in and of themselves were done well, they just detracted from the story's development. Maybe if they were broken up into shorter sequences, revealed little by little, they would have been more effective, I dunno. [/QUOTE]
