Dr. Ted Grey is living a charmed life. He’s engaged to a rich,
smart, beautiful woman named Gwen. She’s given him the resources and connections
that allow him to become an intern at the University Hospital in Philadelphia.
Upon his arrival there, he learned that some of the other interns have formed a
tightly knit group. He begins to wonder what their deal is.
This movie was awesome.
At some points I had a little trouble with the main
character. Not Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes,
Rocky Balboa, Dirty Deeds). Ventimiglia is a highly underrated actor. He
could play an old man counting out pennies at CVS and I’d watch three hours of
it. It’s more about the almost instantaneous character development that threw
me. It was a little too fast for me to believe it. It may very well be an issue
of strange editing.
There were also a couple of plot hole near the end. I found
them forgivable because of the sheer creativity involved.
The reason the movie scored so highly with me, despite
downfalls, was because I couldn’t take my eyes away from the screen. Pathology was intense, morbid and just
down-right amazing. It had that one thing that the best movies all have, it was
uniquely entertaining.
Pathology is the
best thriller I’ve seen in a while.
