Starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, et al. Released to DVD on December 19, 2000.

Jennifer Lopez stars here as Catherine Deane, a smart and personable child psychologist working at an experimental mental health ward. Using pioneer technology, Catherine and her compatriots have discovered a way in which to transport a human into the mind of another human. This technology has been mostly used to try and awaken patients who are in comas. However, when known serial killer Carl Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio) lapses into a coma with his latest kidnapping victim still alive and trapped in the world, Catherine and new buddy Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn) aim to use this technology to get Carl to reveal where his would-be murder victim is. The fictional technology is at the heart of The Cell, Catherine's voyages into other human's minds merely an excuse for ex-music video director Tarsem Singh to build massive set pieces and outfit Lopez in this year's best costumes. There were a lot of smoke, mirrors and flashy objects in The Cell and they almost camouflage the vacuous nature of Mark Protosevich's most uncomplex screenplay.
