Movie No. 109 (2013): THE X FILES (I WANT TO BELIEVE)
The X Files: I Want To Believe (2008)
Director: Chris Carter
Cast: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson
Partners Scully and Mulder are called back to duty to investigate on a series of kidnappings and murders. A former priest, who was a pedophile, offer assistance, claiming he sees visions related that may lead to trapping the 'serial killer.' Mulder is eager, Scully is recluctant. It appears that the movie is more interested in the Mulder and Scully characters but fails in the process. The movie is weak. The premise is something that you may have already seen other (better) movies. Or, this may have worked for a 40-min TV movie. It's so irritating to see Duchovny trying to portray Mulder who wants to redeem himself. Even Anderson is not convincing enough to show the reluctance of Scully.

Disappointing.
