You haven't seen any TV ads.
And that's exactly where the buzz is....non-existant.
I have seen the trailer at the theater a few times and will be checking it out. The concept seems like it could make for a good cat and mouse flick....and I actually like Renny Harlin.

And it's a "fun" movie, not a terribly "good" one. Harlin is a master of that type of filmmaking.
Nitpickers should have fun with it.

being that i've had the bootleg for quite sometime now I can tell you its not a bad movie at all. The way the deaths are created will have alot of you loving it. The acting isnt bad either everyone(even LL cool J) give a great performance.

I saw a test screening of this last year and I liked it. It's lots of fun and has some great death scenes, even if it is Deep Blue Sea with a human killer instead of sharks.

Here's a review from Arrow - he seems pretty stoked about it:

I hope this stupid thing comes out soon - I've been wanting to see it for ages... and my hsx stock on it isn't doing squat, but I can't sell it without taking a hit.

This movie has a somewhat promising cast but just goes down the shitter real quick, its another one of the "guess who's the killer among them" type movies, like Identity and Eye See You-which both did this formula better. Oh, and a really stupid ending.
SOMEWHAT SPOILERISH------
This movie had so many "coincedential" type killings its not even funny, I thought it was going into Identity territory but at the end of that movie you realize you're in a killer's head so you forgive it, here there's no such luck.

I saw this finally and agree with the above comment about the killings.
The film was enjoyable for awhile, but it reached a point where the taps were too convoluted to be believable.
My main point of contention is with the characterizations in the climax.

Can't help you out with that one ghostface, sorry.
I just realized the original date of this topic. Wow, it's been on the shelf for a while! Well, it was much better than most of the other films that have been shelved for long periods.

I loved this movie. I laughed out loud through most of it. Almost as much as I do watching Commando. The dialogue was so appalling, it had me in fits of the giggles. 
My two favourite lines:


I also loved the badly choreographed fight scenes. Some of which appeared to be slow-mo moves they had forgotten to speed up in post production.

Eenie meenie miney mo, which mother fucker is next to go

- It's the initial calculation for the speed of light
- Are you sure?
- It's a fundamental principle of physics
- Along with "shit happens"
