    Here is a movie so absorbing, so atmospheric, so suspenseful and so dumb, that it proves my point: The subject matter doesn't matter in a movie nearly as much as mood, tone and style.

    Though enlivened by occasional touches, "Smilla's" is like the food at Taco Bell: exotic only to someone who hasn't experienced the real thing.

    Vanessa Redgrave makes a regal if too-brief appearance.

    This lame bid at a thriller is hobbled by a plodding pace and a slipshod script.
