Odd Thomas: Pogromca zła

I enjoyed this mysterious and entertaining thriller, which I inexplicably missed back then, and it's cool. Odd is a likable character with the ability to see the dead and prevent tragedies. When the "Bodachs", harbingers of death, start appearing in town, he senses that a major disaster is approaching. The film nicely blends genres, from comedy, romance, and thriller to mystery and action. It's a bit disappointing that it doesn't particularly excel in any aspect, but it's still enjoyable to watch. The plot is interesting and captivating, and it offers a few surprises, and an action-packed finale. It's an entertaining movie, although its runtime of two hours and the relatively unexpected sad ending may somewhat detract from it. 6.5/10. (25.03.2021)

For budgetary reasons, Stephen Sommers took a break from digital megalomania and made this rather enjoyable, brisk, slightly horror spectacle. The jump scares are not stunningly original, but everything has the right atmosphere, the action scenes are not lacking swing (especially the opening and the finale are great), and there are plenty of visual effects to enjoy. Moreover, the script doesn't skip out on the humor and the duo of Anton Yelchin and Addison Timlin is very likeable. So why not? (10.05.2014)
