Review of The Hole

The Hole (2001)
5/10
Leap from reality, but sharp entertainment
26 March 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Apt title for a plot containing many of them. At the beginning of this film, I began to get excited as it held my interest with gorgeous framing, crisp images and great soundtrack. However, (as usual) the plot began to leave our universe of believability with dumb and insulting developments. Even a High School student could tell you the police don't work that way. Oh well, if your brain's asleep, this could be great entertainment. For me, it evoked the, "Awww, c'mon!" reflex more than once.

**A slight hint of a spoiler**

Having stated that, there are a few cool foreshadowing scenes that show the director's potential: one of which is the throwing up portions. Watch how they connect.
