The Factory

Really?

Actors:  John Cusack, Jennifer Carpenter, Dallas Roberts, Mae Whitman, Sonya Walger, Mageina Tovah
Rating:  6 out of 10, A kind of uneven thriller that has Lloyd Dobler teaming up with Dexter’s sister to track down a serial killer who’s abducted George-Michael’s girlfriend who’s also Lloyd’s daughter.  Cusack kind of sleep walks through this and doesn’t have his usual spark, sardonic or otherwise. I think the movie was aiming to achieve fame for a stunning twist but it was more creepy than anything else and ultimately unsatisfying.  If nothing else this movie will prevent anybody from ever visiting Buffalo, N.Y.
 MVP:  Whitman as Abby the abducted and resourceful daughter
