The Cell spends most of its time trying to live up to its dazzling visuals. It never quite does, although it and Jennifer Lopez are quite an eyeful.

The Cell makes the mistake of thinking that we're going to be captivated by a story that devotes most of its length to ugly hallucinations.

Tarsem uses the dramatically shallow plot to create a dream world densely packed with images of beauty and terror that cling to the memory even if you don't want them to.

rotten:
Lopez is hard to take as the empathetic psychologist who uses a synaptic transfer machine to penetrate the comatose killer's tortured psyche in hopes of finding his latest victim.
