Rental Movie Review - Godsend **1/2

Godsend (2004)
Directed by - Nick Hamm
Writing credits - Mark Bomback
Genre: Drama / Fantasy / Horror / Thriller
Main Cast:
Greg Kinnear .... Paul Duncan
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos .... Jessie Duncan
Robert De Niro .... Richard Wells
Cameron Bright .... Adam Duncan


Decent performances were rendered by newly lead star Rebecca Romijn Stamos as well as fellow cast members Robert Deniro & Greg Kinnear. The kid did steal the lime light though. Cameron Bright plays Adam Duncan, the child of Paul & Jessie Duncan. (Kinnear/Stamos) After suffering through the death of their son Duncan Jessie and Paul are convinced to give up their normal life and move away with Dr. Richard Wells (Deniro) where he has promised to return their lost son through cloning. Things don't go as expected in fact things take a turn for the worse.

That's the part that disappointed me with this film. They could have done much better with the story. I was especially irritated with the ending. "That's it?" 0 you will surely exclaim as I did when the credits role. Cameron Bright can play an evil kid very well; his eyes and looks help that out. I wish they would have given it more of an evil spin instead of a predictable occurrence
