Red Lights

 Sigourney Weaver is listed as the star of this flick with Cillian Murphy and the fantastic actor Robert De Niro.  Wow, what can go wrong here?  Listed as a  paranormal psychological thriller?  I could not wait.  Stupid me......What a waste of time. Weaver and Murphy are reasearchers who travel the country debunking fraudulent claims of ghost whispering, faith healing and other psychic phenomena. They look for what Weaver calls "red lights," the tricks behind staged supernatural occurrences. De Niro plays a TRUE psychic leaving retirement after 30 years, and WEaver and Murphy want to debunk him. Writer and director Rodrigo Cortés misses the mark thinkng this is paranormal, thrilling, or entertaining.
There are a couple of twists in the movie.  I guessed both....waaaaay to early in the film.
One humorous part is the usage of birds in the movie.  Rent and see.
