I can not in sound mind tell anyone to go see this film. The film has an amazing plane crash one shot that was done very well. But really and truly that is the only positive thing I can think to say about this film. I will not waste your time complaining about it. I give it {{{1 out of 5 stars}}}

There is nothing like a great film... and Knowing is nothing like a great film. It hardly seems worth writing a review for this film but I really must express how bloody awful it was. There were cheesy cliches, there were plot holes galore and there was Nicholas Cage - altogether it was never going to be a wining combination.

Films like this frustrate me because they *could* have been so good. The basic starting idea is really interesting; a girl predicts the future in code in the fifties and it is discovered in the present day. I think the writer/director focussed too much on trying to explain the prediction rather than exploring the reactions to the revelations.

Overall... this was shit. I give it {{{1 out of 5}}}.

They said: If you are hoping for Nicolas Cage in all his glory, A) you might be suffering some form of psychosis and B) you will not find it in this film we give it [[[[2 out of 10]]]]

  1. Hi Guys,

    Looks like I'll be giving this one a miss then.

  2. Probably for the best Ricky. Although it was fun to make fun of it so you might get some laughs out of it!
