We're gonna go out on a limb and say Mirrors won't be the film to knock The Dark Knight off of its perch atop the box office. But this horror film could still be worth a viewing.

Let's see if a handful of movie critics from around the country agree...

- While watching it won't necessarily lead to seven years of bad luck, it does make for a fairly aggravating 110 minutes... -- eFilmcritic

- It skirts along the edge of greatness, but for every one thing it does right, it does another so inconceivably wrong... -- Dread Central

- Mirrors isn't a total wash of a horror film, but it is not unreasonable to expect more from a filmmaker who has delivered stronger, more confident works in the past... -- The Movie Boy

- It's not much of a compliment to call Mirrors "considerably better than Shutter, Pulse, or One Missed Call," but the flick is just good enough to make one wish it had shown up before those turkeys... -- FEARnet

The role of Ben Carson in the new horror movie Mirrors doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for Kiefer Sutherland. The character yells a lot and tries to save people he loves.

Sounds a bit like Jack Bauer, doesn't it?

Still, even Jack Bauer has never dealt with evil mirrors, as Sutherland must in this film. He recently talked about it with Moviehole.

"Horror films, for me growing up weren't a genre of film that could give you any stronger a visceral reaction through watching it," the actor said when asked why he was attracted to Mirrors. "I had always heard that as an actor that is something that would draw you to a genre film. You can actually affect an audience that powerfully, and that quickly, so the genre was something I was really interested in."

Sutherland disagrees with our assessment of the similiarities between Bauer and Carson, saying:

"This character is obviously very different and when you put the two together you can really see that, and because 24 is such a strong backdrop I think you really will see that this is a departure from that work.

I'm still trapped in my own physical body, with my own voice, and my sense of interpretation, so there are going to be similarities in everything that I do. But, I think the fact that 24 is such a strong backdrop of where I am in my career right now, this film was a great opportunity to show another part of a reflected image."

Taking a break from saving the world as Jack Bauer on 24, Kiefer Sutherland focuses on just saving his family in the upcoming horror movie, Mirrors.

In the film, Sutherland stars as Ben Carson, a former cop that must prevent evil forces from haunting his family via, you guessed it, mirrors. Here are a couple stills of the character:
