Inkheart (2008)
Directed by Iain
Softley this film based on the novel of the same name stars Brendan
Fraser, Eliza Bennett, Paul Bettany and Helen Mirren. A teenage girl
and her father travel travel round looking for a book the girl's
mother is trapped in due to the fathers ability to bring books to
life be reading them out loud.
The premise of this
film has a lot going for it with fictional characters coming to life
and the possibility of exploring the affect they have on us but the
film never really goes into any depth on this. While the plot works
fairly well as your average teen adventure film there is not a whole
lot in the way of suspense or character development. There is a
really large cast loaded with mostly British talent but a lot are
left under used sadly.
3/5
