6 Souls (2013)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

I'll tell you why so serious

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The first half of the movie is an in-depth psychological thriller, where a psychologist, played by none other than Juliane Moore, is investigating an interesting patient, who seems to be suffering from split personality disorder It gets really interesting as we get taken deeper and deeper into the lives of his split personalities, everything seems to add up and form a strong plot, up until they decide to ruin this movie in a sense by introducing a new reality - turns out these are not split personalities, but souls. This turns everything upside down and now this is a religious voodo shaman type of movie with witchraft and exorcisms. In my opinion, you can only go one way or the other, the premise was really great, up until the half way point i was really intruiged purely by the psychological investigation and delving deeper into the minds of Adam/David. The movie is not horrible nor is it great, they should have gone with the premise without introducing all the voodoo witchcraft. Nonetheless there is great acting, beautiful scenery at times and by no means it is a boring watch! Watch and decide for yourself, not the worst flick you will ever see.

Writing awful, directing questionable, and characters intelligence are disgusting.

Julianne Moore plays Dr. Cara Harding, a forensic psychiatrist who works in the field of disproving criminals who claim to have multiple personalities. Her views & beliefs are put to the test, though, when she's given the case of a patient who goes by the name of David (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), who inexplicably seems to change personalities right in front of her. Harding's investigation takes her deeper into the unknown and ultimately tests her faith in science as well as her own religious beliefs.6 Souls is a pretty decent supernatural mystery/thriller which is well played out by Moore and especially Rhys Meyers, whose performance in playing the multiple characters/personalities is excellent. He's very believable with all his characters and the way he goes from being a sweet, caring person like David one minute to then being someone a bit more sinister like Wesley so suddenly is impressive.The movie starts off pretty well and does keep your attention throughout. It does get to a point - about an hour in maybe - where it has a danger of stalling and coming to a complete halt, but thankfully it manages to pick itself up to keep on going.The film is a wee bit predictable in all honesty as in it being the classic skeptical psychiatrist who turns believer, and there are possibly a few things that don't really seem to make sense at first, but even with that 6 Souls is still a good wee film to watch.

Generally, movie was going on track, meant all was nice keeping us interesting but in the end it spoiled all movie, when concluding with the punishment of a child as a non-believer. Can anyone tell me that how one is fully aware about his/her religion and beliefs in that age? If a child in this age commits a crime, he/she is not accounted for as he/she doesn't have sense of responsibility which comes with certain age, then how God can punish someone in this age for not recognizing Him or saying a word against Him. Truthfully speaking, what motivated the writer to write such a story about child's part but if I would be a producer, I wouldn't agree to invest in this production at all.
