The novel, written by the brilliant Ted Dekker, had kept me reading from cover to cover. On the other hand, the movie has taken away a lot of what the novel had going for it. The actors did not fit the characters at all, and so much of the story was taken out of it, replaced with details that weren't nearly as good. If you are a fan of the book, the only good thing about the film was the ending (How Sam, Slater and Kevin are all one person). If you watch the movie, not as an adaption, but as a short, fun suspense- thriller, it is an alright flick to watch. But if you're looking for a thorough adaption of the book, just hope that Christopher Nolan has the guts to make an adaption.

**SPOILERS** Hammy and predictable, in its unpredictability, thriller filmed on location in of all places Lodz Poland. Why the makers of "Thr3e" would go as far as Ploand to make a movie that supposed to take place in the US is by far the biggest mystery, far more then the identity of the serial killer in it, in the entire movie!The film mimics far more "The Sixth Sense" then "Saw" or "Se7en" which many critics claim its story copies off from. In it we have this troubled and guilt ridden seminary student Kevin Parson, Marc Blucas, who's life is being threatened, together with those close to him, with death by this screwball who likes to leaves clues to what's behind his strange and deadly actions; thus earning the name from the local newspapers as the "Riddle Killer".We get a clue to the "Riddler's" frame of mind in his insistence, in the messages that he leaves at the scene of his crimes, that Kevin should publicly apologize for what he did to him when he was a boy some 15 years ago. Kevin in picking his brain in just what the hell this "Riddler" guy is talking about comes up with the theory that he, "The Riddler", was some pervert that he caught spying on his then, as well as now, girlfriend Samantha or Sam for short, Laura Jordan, while she was undressing in her bedroom. This lead to the "Riddler" trying to murder Kevin who turned the tables on him locking him in a nearby deserted wear-house, without food and water, and leaving him for dead! Good work on Kevin's part but as he'll soon find out that the "Riddler" not only survived but wants far more then an apology from Kevin he want's him as well as his friends and family members , even his pet dog Demon, dead! Apology or not!***SPOILERS*** The off-the-wall surprise ending in "Thr3e" really makes you wounder if it was put in when those writing the screenplay just ran out of ideas or scenarios and decided to finally end it with as little pain as humanly possible for those watching the film. Even Kevin seemed to joke about it, the ending, as we see him peacefully convalescing at a local Polish, or in the film US, sanitarium. You can't blame Kevin for ending up where he did, in a loony bin, from what he so painfully experienced in the movie. Much of it of his own making!

Cops and an insurance investigator try to stop a serial bomber who torments with riddles and has now set his sight on a college student.Odd story with style that lacks and real characters you can care about. Its not a bad movie, far from it but this could have and should have been a great film, all that would have been required would be to give us real people to hang out with instead we get cyphers and cut outs. It keeps you watching but it never fully engages you. I highly doubt that you'll remember ever seeing it after the end credits roll.Worth a shot on cable.6 out of 10

Alright.First reason, this movie is named Thr3e hence, I couldn't give it any lower than that. :| And the quality of the film is no better than a three. :| Two, it's three times worse than most bad movies I have seen.and Three, there's about 3 THOUSAND plot holes in this film...Alright, but onto the main review...Thr3e is a movie that interested me, since it was based on a book by quite a famous Christian author, plus it was horror/thriller. A Horror/Christian film. So being a Christian, and a film buff, that was something I wanted to see.Unfortunately, it was a very badly executed idea. :| First, it seemed,like a good movie. That's when it went downhill... 30 minutes into this film, I was laughing at how bad it was.. :| The acting is Okay at times, and then just really.. BAD.The story started out pretty good, then just got plain stupid, and ridicules. There was so many plot holes in this movie, ESPECIALLY the one near the end, which made me change my mind from giving this movie a 5, to a 3.I really was quite disappointed in Thr3e. It is one of the few Christian Horror/Thrillers out there, and could of been quite a good, enjoyable movie.Oh well. Hopefully Ted Dekker's next book-to-film adaption, "HOUSE" will be better...I hope...Acting:3/10 Direction:2/10 Plot:2/10 Re-watch ability: 1/10 Overall Rating: 3/10 Do I recommend this film?: No. :| Thr3e Rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images and terror.Very mild PG-13 movie, nothing too rough despite the rating.Thank you for reading. :) P.S. If you watch/have watched this film, I hope you enjoy it more than I did. :|
