kuarinofu As I understood, this is based on a book or a series of books I've missed. So I was watching this without knowing anything beside the short synopsis from IMDB. As the headline goes - this is a solid movie. The pacing is very reminiscent of Edgar Wright's style. It is very minimalistic, some necessary narration, but not much, lots of dialogue, but fast and always on the move, clever use of flashbacks etc. Such an approach gives the movie a good flow. One thing that was somewhat a miss was the introduction of a character 40 mins in. I guess he was important in the book and it seemed like they had no scenes for him but they still needed to feature him. The performances were handled well, especially by Yelchin, it is so sad we will not be seeing him any more. I'd rate this 6-7 for being a solid movie, but the ending pulled a string inside me and I have to give a little more just for this.

kevinoneil-99062 Blown away by any expectation I could have for this film. It really delivered a lot of different emotions in it's story. Great to see a film where the book and movie go so well together. With fantastic characters and story Odd Thomas easily fits it's way into my list of favorite movies.

recca-92843 First off, I need to say that I didn't expect to like this movie. I came into it just looking for something to pass the time. Imagine my surprise when this movie not only caught my attention, but it actually pulled it away from the work I was doing at the time. The story isn't something over complicated, but the mystery it creates as it tells said story, is engaging.The characters are actually well done, leading with Oddie,... who lives up to his namesake. The actor who played him, really nailed it. This movie actually had a reminiscent feeling of Shaun of the Dead with a little twist of The Mist of all things. The ending,... was a really nice twist, and really worth the wait.So far, one of my long term favorites.

swurly2008 This movie is terrible, predictable, played out, my biggest issue is none of the characters act like real people, the dialogue is totally unbelievable. It's really not very hard to predict what'll happen next, the only reason I think people 'like' the movie so much is because it's different, he'll Odd is in the movie title. It's like with other cult following movies that use dark horror as a vehicle to propel the film such as Donnie Dario (another crappy overrated movie) people latch onto it to seem edgy or moody. Crappy movie, maybe the books are better.
