Jennifer Lopez in The Cell.

Jennifer Lopez in The Cell.

Back in the sixties a gorgeous Latin babe lightened her hair color and ran through a silly film full of special effects. The babe was Raquel Welch, and the movie was the near cult status film, A Million Years BC. The only thing that is really memorable from that picture, is the leading lady in a fur bikini.

Now, in The Cell, Latin babe Jennifer Lopez, with lightened hair, runs through a silly film full of special effects. Unfortunately, she forgot the fur bikini. There is nothing memorable about this movie.

Lopez plays a child psychiatrist who, through technology, is able to enter someone's dreams. She attempts to help out the FBI by entering the mind of a sick, and I stress sick, serial killer in hopes of finding out where he has stashed his latest victim. The whole plot is just a pathetic excuse to get to the special effects, weird sets, and costumes. None are all that imaginative at that.

The plot is as predictable as an episode of cops. The only thing worth looking at in this flick is Jennifer Lopez. Yeah, she's hot and her rear end gets a couple of good scenes. It's just too bad no one dressed her in a fur bikini.
