Cell 2016

At the end of the movie, "Cell" left me thinking,. "Well, what was the point of that?" The concept with the Raggedy Man and all that was barely developed, there was little to no character development, we didn't care whether any of these people lived or died and according to people who have read the book, there was a lot more to the book that just got left out. So the director was content to just make a poor-to-mediocre film instead of a good-to-great one? I don't get it. Also, there was nothing particularly riveting about the characters or the dialogue that required the expertise of John Cusack and Sam Jackson. As someone here pointed out, any B-list actor could have played these parts. I know these days, you can attach a name like Stephen King to a project, poop out any old shit and it'll draw some money, but Jesus, where is the pride in making quality films?
