Movie review: The Invisible (2007)

If you're into this kind of music, don't miss the two music videos on this DVD.

Modern teen kind of music played prominently in this film. I don't usually like that kind of music, but it worked well enough in the movie that I liked it. Really nice scenery.

This looked like a teen flick to me. While this movie touches upon the subject of death, it didn't really seem to be the main point of the film exactly.

How teens relate to each other and how they determine their own futures is closer to what this film is about.

I suspect they had a hard time naming this flick. THE INVISIBLE doesn't really cover it. But anything else would've given away the surprises in plot most likely.

If you remember the little kid with a sleeping disorder in RV (Alex Ferris), you'll see him briefly in this movie. As you as this little tyke is, he's been in at least 18 movies! Although, he's not so young as he looks (unless this movie was filmed much earlier than it's release date). He was born in 1997 in British Columbia, Canada.

Marcia Gay Harden plays the main character's mom. She does a real good job. Other recognizable faces included Callum Keith Rennie (another Canadian), Michelle Harrison (who was in the movie about the unauthorized story of Mork & Mindy), and Mark Houghton (from shows like Stargate SG-1, Snakes on a plane, Elektra, The Dead Zone and Smallville).

The main character, played by Justin Chatwin, also played in smallville as well as in Josie and the Pussycats, Traffic, War of the worlds, Taken, Dragonball, Weeds and Lost. Looks like he's been in over 20 movies in all. He studied in British Columbia, Canada.

The female lead, Margarita Levieva, was once a Russian Gymnast in a previous incarnation. (Pun intended.) She played the tough girl role really well. She's got about 8 or more movies under her belt. She had incredible hair that was hidden most of the time.

Overall, adults might like it. Teens would probably relate to it the most. The film was done well. The subject of the story wasn't all that interesting to me. Except that it kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next. THAT I liked!
