I have to admit, I watched 'Hideaway' because I had quite high expectations of Jeremy Sisto playing the evil guy. And it has to be said, he is fun watching in his role of Vassago. His angelic looks combined with being a 'very bad boy' is an enjoyable combination (especially when he is taking a shower ;-) ). But enough praises for being sexy.
Goldblum's performance is also fine. I was less convinced though about Lindsey Harrison, but it might also be that the plot just wasn't really on her hands. The dialogs were often pretty unconvincing and annoying. But the worst part of the movie was the incredibly cheesy end. As soon as the battle between good and bad started, my jaw dropped and I could only laugh. It wasn't all that good till that point, but the end really ruined everything that was still left of the movie. It's not that we are talking about the ineffectiveness of the still young era of computer effects, it was just.. all... just..... yes, terribly, terribly cheesy.
If the script would have been better worked out, with better dialogs and a better pace, I might have given it a 6 or 7. But without that dialog and a better pace, and with an ending like this, I can not come up with more then a 4.
