The Skulls

This film stretches the bounds of credulity to the extreme. I believe anyone with an IQ above that of a brick would be speechless at the holes and inconsistancies in this script. Simply put this film is a mess. However, it does have a very good music soundtrack (very moody and menacing). Take the money you would use to see the film and purchase the soundtrack instead.

This movie is about a secret society that's about as secret as McDonald's! There is literally NOBODY in the film who isn't in the know. OK, it does have that Jude & Matt "Mr. Ripley" thing going on with Paul Walker as the golden preppie here and Joshua Jackson as the eager prole. But it doesn't have anything else: logic, conviction, continuity, dialogue. I was prepared for a hoot but the filmmaking was so slovenly that it was hard to pay attention. Joshua, "Road Trip" had better be damn good!

So.. 5 pts for Joshua. The rest of it well, gotta admit towards the end there i kinda had to force myself to finish tbh. A duel?? Really? Geesh.

Considering our current president and his father are alleged to be members of a secret society similar to one in the film, there was a real opportunity to make an insightful movie about the operation and influence of these shadowy organizations. Instead, director Rob Cohen and the screenwriter have fashioned an illogical, poorly acted, substandard genre flick, designed to appeal to an adolescent audience with no political sophistication. The characters are all cardboard cutouts, and I felt embarrassed for the "professional" actors here, like Craig T. Nelson and William Petersen. Petersen's "Virginia" accent is howlingly unconvincing. Plot elements don't add up, there's no real payoff, and the "action" sequences are woeful and ineptly filmed. The film looks like it was edited with a meat cleaver. This is really an awful movie.

Okay, i may be wrong on this one, but i found the movie a complete waste of time. Personally, i really thought this movie would be another one of a kind thriller that would drive you to the edge of your seat, boy was i wrong. Everything was poorly done. Poor acting, terrible script, and a really bad ending.. to sum it all, the movie sucks.. big time! The film started fine, i must admit. It created the right "opening" for the climax and future conflicts of the film. As the movie goes on, it began to missed out on some of the important points of the story and wasted most of its time, leaving no space for the conclusion. I mean, what's up with that? Anybody could come up with a better ending. Overall, i wouldn't recommend this film to those who really care for their money's worth..

I loved this movie. The acting was great, it was scary, and Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker are MAJORLY cute!!! It had everything....suspense, romance, tradgedy, everything. All I can say is I love it. My new favorite. Don't listen to everyone else, they must be stoned or something. This movie was great. Period. 10/10 ***** Wiley's sis

Could have been a much better movie. Saw this plot in an older movie, but can't recall name. This movie tries to show that secret organizations are bad, but does a bad job about it. Characters are not well developed and suspense is shoddy. Recommend it only if nothing on tv.

The thought of secret societies are true, that I know for a fact. Don't ask why. But to these extremes... Thoughts of "Rising Sun" are inevitable. Not a film I would recommend, but not to be shunned either. It will give some entertainment certainly.

I like this Film Alot It has a Cast Like Paul Walker (The Fast And Furious and Fast and Furious 2) Josh Jackson (Urban Legend Dawsons Creek). The Man Who Wrote This New what he was on about. Hill Harper(In Too Deep) Does a Great Job and So Does Lesile Bible.
