Submitted by: The Bunny Foo Foo Starring: Billy Zane, Gloria Reuben, John C. McGinley Directed by: Mikael Salomon This FOX TV movie was based on a book by Dean Koontz, the author of many books transformed into other TV movies. But anyway, we are here to talk about "Sole Survivor." Well, because of the commericials, the movie was split into 2 days. I never liked that. Right off, that turns me off because that means I have to get back to my TV at a certain time so I won't miss anything. Because this is a made for television film, none of its aspects really makes it comparable to a real, major studio work. The camera work was kinda choppy and the acting lacks fluidity. But what it did have is an okay plot. Because it was adapted from a book, written by a very popular author no less, kinda insured the plot. The plot does not always make a good movie though. It takes a good screenplay writer/adapter to know what to cut out and what to put in to insure the entire story gets told while not making it all drawn out and boring. Basically, "Sole Survivor" was able to keep your attention all the way through even though it was not perfect. The explanation for the "surviving" was kinda shaky and the evil child, well, his powers are alittle too powerful. Anyway, overall, with all its delinquencies, I could only give it 2 go's. And I know, my review of the movie is really only worth a go.  | |
