Um hey you guys, ya you studio exec people... um your title's a little misleading ...weird hair-cutted Orlando Bloom is in fact not a "good doctor" at all. This is such a creepy premise. You go to the hospital thinking the doctors are going to do everything in their power to help you get better then, surprise your doctor is actually purposefully harming your health. Cool. I might skip this one just so that I don't establish some sort of permanent subconscious complex about hospitals and the people that work there.

I'm still not sure what to make of Orlando Bloom when he's anything other then an Elf and yet, I feel like he probably does have some decent talent he could harvest somewhere in there if he chose the right roles.

Not sure the film is for me per say based on the trailer, but it did look like something a little different from him, which is nice to see.

Interesting. Maybe a bit too linear, but that could definitely just be how the trailer's cut. It seems like it's going for more of a character study rather than a horror-type thing, but just imagine how wonderfully terrifying this concept could be under someone like Cronenberg, and to tell it from the patient's POV!

Also, gotta give props to whoever cast this for contrasting this immoral Orlando M.D. with everyone's favorite Pre-ER sweetie pie,, Dr. Joel Fleischman.

Wow Orlando Bloom looks like such a creeper with that hairdoo and his hunched over nature.

So...he falls in love with a patient and purposefully keeps her sick so that she has to stay in the hospital with him?

That's what it seems like, and along the way, people start finding out about it and he has to take care of situations.

The movie's character study looks interesting, but I don't know how they plan on keeping the audience's sympathy with this character through at least an hour and a half when we know he's doing some despicable shit. Then again, One Hour Photo was somehow able to keep our sympathies with Robin Williams in a weird and twisted kind of way, so this flick might be able to pull the same thing off.
