Pros: Spacey and Bridges do fine
Cons: Very unoriginal and slow
Summary: There’s no mystery to the mysterious traveler in the movie, “K-PAX.” It’s written like it’s a mystery, but anybody with half the IQ of Forrest Gump could see what was coming two hours before the movie reached its inevitable conclusion. Kevin Spacey...

Pros: Encouraging, Thoughtful, Metaphysical, Great Acting, Great Ending
Cons: may be confusing to small children
Summary: K-Pax, starring Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges, has got to be one of the most beleivable films on a genre of this sort. Most films based around aliens or features creatures from another planet have been set up to be threatening, scary, or just plain...

Pros: K-pax leaves you hanging in a lot of places threw the entire movie
Cons: Some of the things that Kevin Spacey knows are a little far fetched

Pros: Some very good acting. A good and intriguing plot.
Cons: A little slow at times. Leaves too much open at the end.
Summary: Over the last few years several movies have been released to make you go ‘Hmmmm’. Two of the best were Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis and American Beauty starring Kevin Spacey. Both were released to critical acclaim and both had intriguing plots and...

Pros: Spacey and Bridges make a great combination therefore making a great film
Cons: None
Summary: One either buys into the idea of a mental patient actually being from another planet, or they write it off as unoriginal fop. They either analyze the project to pieces, or they enjoy the magical prospects presented to them.
I would encourage...

Pros: This is a great idea for a movie, but.....(refer to cons)
Cons: This movie could be so much more. It doesn't go the distance for me.
Summary: I don't know about you, but I am sick of watching movies that treat me like i'm stupid. I went to my local video store and picked up this movie, I thought I might be in for a mind opening movie that really made me think. How wrong I was.

Pros: I found the direction firm and the acting solid.
Cons: It's certainly derivative, and a few sappy scenes go overboard.
Summary: An avant-garde semi-electronic tune plays while the
opening scenes of "K-PAX" reveal an enigmatic
-looking man who calls himself Prot.
Sporting dark sunglasses and a
noncommittal grin, the calmly
suave, lanky Prot (Kevin...

Pros: Kevin Spacey's and Jeff Bridges performances.
Cons: Unanswered questions
Summary: Ever seen a spaceman? Would you know it if you saw one? How? What would differentiate him from your coworker or next door neighbor? His knowledge? His/her demeanor? Eating habits?
Well, unlike other reviewers out there, my husband and I...

Pros: Kevin Spacey's inspiring, otherworldly performance, full of mystique, Shearmur's score, the soft, effective cinematography
Cons: Doesn't develop the mental patient characters as well as it could have
Summary: I was instantly taken with the premise of this film; that being a mysterious mental patient who really doesn't have any superpowers, but is able to affect those around him in a deeply profound way. I was captivated by Spacey's acting and the pulsing...

Pros: gread thinking
Cons: old story

Pros: Kevin Spacey and an interesting premise.
Cons: Definitely qualifies as a feel-good movie.
Summary: ...is definitely a true lede for a movie like K-PAX. Based on Gene Brewer's novel that seems to have been read by no one, K-PAX tells the story of a man (who we later find out to be Prot, played by Kevin Spacey) who claims to be an extra-terrestrial....

Pros: entertaining, makes you think, keeps you guessing
Cons: confusing, possibly frustrating to some
Summary: If you saw and / or loved The Usual Suspects you should enjoy this.
In the Usual Suspects Kevin Spacey plays Verbal Kent, a criminal mastermind pretending to be a gimp. The ending is probably most of what made that movie. You spent your time...
