Yeah I totally get it, I think the marketing did the film dirty and the pedigree of the actors and director didn't help either plus all of the oscar nominations made people expect something different. It's a very melodramatic and campy film, in the original script Daniel throws Eli down the bowling alley to knock down the pins after killing him.

Well, thanks for the new point of view. I might re-watch it at some point in life- if I do, I'll try it with this mind set.
