Review of Fragile

Fragile (2005)
3/10
Lame, boring AND dishonest
24 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Quickly said: the premise and unfolding of the story is predictable, even if it tries not to be. The setting, a soon-to-be-closed hospital built in a remote and difficult to be reached island, is really nothing new. And, good as she is in this movie, one has to wonder what Calista Flockhart is doing in a Spanish production. But the worst thing of all is that in the final act the movie unforgivably cheats on the audience: without spoiling it at all, during the plot, a rule have been set quite clearly. But in the end, for no apparent reason other than to give to movie a happy ending, the rule is subverted. Should the screenwriter (or the director) have been brave enough to drive the movie to its logical conclusion, it would have been much more interesting and much less annoying.
