For some years now, Val Kilmer's presence in a movie, especially when he receives top billing, almost guarantees "B" status. But I thought "The Travel(l)er" had a nifty premise, so I decided to give it a chance. And it's not all bad: director Michael Oblowitz establishes some atmosphere in the first half, and most of the acting is decent to good (especially from Dylan Neal). But Kilmer is miscast as a mysterious, powerful, all-knowing character, and some fake-looking extreme gore in the second half spoils the atmosphere. This story would have worked better as a "Twilight Zone" episode - it's too long at 92 minutes. ** out of 4.

Urine-poor script compounded by a director who one day hopes to be as good as Uwe Boll, but probably never will be, and an assortment of low-end TV actors who were desperate for work. The delivery of the lines is poor, the "style" for want of a better word is annoying, and the plot, so far as I could tell, was just utterly lacking. Can't blame the actors: they had absolutely nothing to work with and had a director who dragged down their performances like a lead albatross. On top of everything else, the sound quality was variable, but mostly poor, making it very difficult to hear the lines that were there.

It's actually quite suspenseful, but the movie did take it's time to build up to the suspense.I've seen a lot of movies like this and it's always about revenge with a supernatural twist. Then the revenge part turns sour. Of course, there are gruesome blood scenes as found in typical horror style. It's a little eyrie, but there is really no wow factor to it. At the end of the movie, I completely forgot about it and got food with friends. If that's how I reacted, then you know it wasn't really a good movie. Watchable if you have the time, but it's not worth the $15 admission price to the movies.I'm a big fan of Val Kilmer and he did a superb job of acting. Deep and mysterious.
