One of those slow going nowhere movies

You know the type that uses dark (both lighting and attitude) scenes to be dramatic. That annoying piano tinkling constantly in the background. You cannot turn the sound off on the DVD because there are no subtitles.

Most of these stories follow the same scenarios and patterns. Sometimes there are a few twists. You just have to listen to that awful piano music and decide for yourself if you want to put up with it to see the acting and dialog.

Jack (Robert Sheehan) sees dead people. Now, where have we heard that one before? Yep, the dead people always have their agenda and Jack is the patsy. Of course, no one believes him. So, he is telling his life story to a psychiatrist (Joely Richardson.)

Now, in the end, is he unadjusted, or has the psychiatrist got it all figured out?
