The murder of Miriam. ...spoilers...


Just to over the top.

Killing a woman at a carnival while she is being accompanied by not one but 2 groping men with hundreds of witnesses. That is simply ridiculous!

There are so many ways he could have charmed her and gotten her alone eventually, or forced himself onto her but that was not going to be that time. You can't choke somebody to death in 5 seconds.

Nah, it wasn't too over the top. It's a riveting scene with the quick glances between murderer and victim as he follows her all over the carnival. It brought to mind Brian DePalma's Dressed To Kill with Angie Dickinson following that guy around the museum.
