As I have not yet read the original Dekker novel (but, so to say, I am no more interested in it), the movie didn't have expectations to live up to in my eyes. After about a half an hour, my level of interest started to fall, but from a pretty high level as the movie starts out to be quite exciting. I thought then that if nothing original, but I would get a standard "clever killer with ideologies connected to the protagonist's life"-type of suspense thriller. However, all the suspense disappears thanks to the shallow acting and the script that seems to make fun of the genre. The strongest stab in the movie' heart is definitely the completely unoriginal, obsolete "twist", when we learn about Kevin's split personalities. COME ON, have anyone of Hollywood's filmmakers watched the thrillers of the past few years? Identity, Shrooms, High Tension, and so on, a never ending line? The split minded killer ISN'T a great idea, it has been used, and re-used dozens of times. It's getting dumb now instead of being a twist, it only shows that no creativity is left is some of the writers, and if Dekker's original is the same, then in the suspense-authors as well. However, I am pretty sure the lot of people will buy it as an original idea, and I am damn certain that this was the real goal here.

The direction is totally sub par , the acting is labored and the plot is as thin as a gossamer , DO NOT waste your time or money on this shallow movie . I shudder to think what prompted the "Actors" to agree to do this movie . I can see some talent , but the script and direction is total crap. The story could have been a winner but the screen play was abysmal , I actually feel sorry for the actors having to act out as directed. I will never again waste my time viewing anything directed by Robby Henson! If he could stoop so low as to make this movie in this form then he is on my black list ! My advice to fellow movie buffs is to stay away from this movie and to be very aware that any future movie directed by Robby Henson should be avoided like the plague

Yes THR3E was kind of a disappointing movie itself but over all I think it did very well considering it was a low-budget film. Most films are more entertaining than this one but those other films have things like sex, drugs, & rock-n-roll, and cussing to add to the entertainment. Withut those elements this is the kind of movie you end up with. Now I'm not dissing this movie, I mean I loved this movie! I have it on my iPod and I watch it all the time but this book was kind of complex to put on film and I think it was well done. The ending really made me happy to see, I thought they would do a half-hearted job with the whole three people alter ego-ness going one but they really pulled it off. It is a way better idea to read the book before watching this movie but that is normal for any book-to-movie relation. Once my friend told me that this book was going to be a movie I immediately got the book and read it! I was on the edge of my seat to figure out what was going to happen.

Entertaining and worth watching but...A watered down, less enthusiastic, crappy acted version of roughly ...20 % Fight Club (Ending) , 20% Se7en (Format), 20% Saw (Antagonist), 20% The Ring (Day 1,2,3), and 20% Identity.Well the 1/5 each things are exaggerated but you catch my drift, the book may have been original, but the film utilizes and copies too many styles previously established by much superior films.It is semi-creepy however.Watch it, just to see all the pieces of the other movies come together to create disappointing trash!
