In this science fiction thriller, child psychiatrist Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez) has developed a technique that allows her to travel through the minds of her patients. When Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio), a multiple murderer who methodically drowns his victims and performs bizarre rituals with their bodies, falls into a coma, FBI agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn) asks Deane to enter the killer's psyche, in the hope of finding a missing girl whom Stargher has kidnapped; if she's not soon found, in all likelihood she'll die in his torture cell. However, once Deane enters the bizarre world of Stargher's mind, she finds getting out to be a very difficult matter. The Cell was the first feature from director Tarsem, who previously made award-winning commercials and music videos, including the video for R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion." The supporting cast includes Catherine Sutherland, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Dylan Baker, and Pruitt Taylor Vince. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

I really enjoyed this movie, it is one of those that slipps under the radar. The caste is great and the plot and effects are what keep you sucked in, good movie

The Cell is surprising great. It is a psychological look at the dark fantasy life of a killer. The cinematography is sleek and rich. The sets are incredible-- especially the ones where they took their cues from Circe du Seleil (sp?). I personally loved this movie, but be prepared for dark unsettling ideas and emotions. Murder and child abuse may not be for everyone, but the "slant" of the movie is to understand the reasons people do terrible things. An extremely memorable movie!

This is the kind of movie that you just have to be in the right mood for. It's often slow and confusing, twisting and turning in ways that collapse in on itself. It's supposed to be psychological drama thriller, but it leads the audience along as twisted a route as it does the characters. It's a little hoaky and unbelievable, this idea of a technology that allows one person to enter the mind of another... and that's about the best thing i can say for this one.

A strange journey into the mind of a killer...if you like strange and weird and imaginative then this is a movie to watch.

Get rid of J Lo and Vince Vaughn, and cast REAL actors in those roles, and then you'd have a classic/masterpiece.

Sorry, Too strange for me. Not sure what the others liked about it. Terrible story line. However, Jay Lo and some of her costumes were beautiful.
