(rated R) Director Louis “Message In A Bottle” Mandoki directs this film that is difficult to summarize without giving away the story (so the trailer already proved.) While they were concerned about exposing the plot, it’s clearly evident within the first ten minutes just where we’re headed. Jim “Frequency” Caviezel plays Catch, who begins a romance with a police officer (Jennifer Lopez) after saving her. Mandoki may have made the wrong choice in casting Lopez instead of Ashley Judd. After last year’s detestable “The Cell” this one follows suit in showing that Lopez lacks acting ability (stick to singing) and can’t seem to warm the screen with any charm. Do the words straight to video mean anything?
