Jinn (2014)
From the beginning, stories of angels and men have captured our imaginations and have been etched into our history crossing all boundaries of culture, religion, and time. These two races have dominated the landscape of modern mythology for countless centuries, almost washing away the evidence that a third ever existed. This third race, born of smokeless fire, was called the jinn. Similar to humans in many ways, the jinn lived invisibly among us and only under dire or unusual circumstances were our paths ever meant to cross.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The first must-see film of the year.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Why so much criticism and hate? This was a very refreshing NEW story and the acting was good. The story line was excellent. I enjoyed it the entire time. Just realize this is not a movie with a million dollar budget and open your mind. It's a good movie! Good enough that I bought it!
This is a movie to play when nothing else is on Sunday TV. It drags and drags. The main character is a dork and slow to learn, relies on his good looks to spice up the screen, and so clumsy. The storyline was the worst screen to screen performance I've ever seen. I'm not a major movie watcher and can be satisfied watching commercials, but this one was worse than an infomercial. I can only think that this was a pet project by a student or a spoiled rich kid. The only parts that I liked was the black smoke reeking from the jinn while he was floating and the glowing eyes from a "good guy". The rest of the movie is sketchy and lacks smooth transitions that mean something in movie land because we are not there. Viewers need these things to stay on course. I'll never watch a movie ignoring the Netflix ratings and thankfully I didn't read the crazy maxed out stars on here because I would have been truly annoyed at how misleading they are. Ten thousand stars just to balance out the lower stars??? Where does this justify in movie land? Thank God these folks don't have real lives and watch these horrible movies instead of voting for Oscar nominees, etc.
Same scenes revisited, same kinda good effects with OK sound fx... but still...this film blew. I have a long standing record with films of the bizarre, nasty, horrifying, dangerous and kinky...this film was trash. Even a friend of mine whom is a far...faar bigger buff of the various darker genres than I would say the same.What could have been a grand tale about one of the pre existing beings upon our world since eldritch times was pitiful. This was not scary in the least, and played out more like a cross between constantine and hellboy in a pathetic way.Avoid or lose the hour and a half of your life, and never recover it . 2/10 is the best I can give this, if nothing else but for the actors efforts. A film is still a trying project to complete.
I love this Genre and the premise/description sounded right up my alley. But the direction, film quality and acting are nothing more than a terrible B-movie.It was disjointed, without a coherent storyline and a total waste of time!And BTW, I DID like Prometheus AND Twilight! One reviewer said she was giving it a 10 to balance the Twilight lovers but GIVE ME A BREAK! The Dialogue is terrible, the editing and screen quality was sub-par and I couldn't even watch it all the way through it was so bad! And again, I LIKE this sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre of movies. It was just poorly made, pure and simple. I feel like I like a LOT of movies that get bad ratings and I will watch 10 minutes of something with a storyline I like even if it has a bad rating to make up my own mind.In this case the ratings were spot on...even for me. You can waste your time if you want, but you've had fair warning!
