Regression


Minnesota, 1990. Detective Bruce Kenner (Ethan Hawke) investigates the case of young Angela (Emma Watson), who accuses her father, John Gray (David Dencik), of an unspeakable crime. When John unexpectedly and without recollection admits guilt, renowned psychologist Dr. Raines (David Thewlis) is brought in to help him relive his memories and what they discover unmasks a horrifying nationwide mystery.

This seems like it could have been a good movie but the hook and the payoff just were not there.  I was not remotely pulled in to be interested in the developing story and the payoff didn't really deliver.  A great movie comes with both of those.  A movie can be good with at least one of them but this movie kind of dropped the ball with both and ended up being a movie that is just kind of there.

I wouldn't really recommend people bothering with this movie.  Again - it is pretty much just there and you have forgotten all about it the day after seeing it.
