Like film, but, one GLARING implausibility....


The doll!!!!!!! If I knew a drug - filled doll were in my house, I would contact the police IMMEDIATELY and let them handle everything....especially if I were blind.

***SPOILER**** Her waiting so long to do so, if she ever intended to do so, proved futile, since they cut her phone cord.

She did't know

Except she didn't know it had drugs in it. That was the point. Mike made her think that the doll tied her husband to an affair and the murdered woman. By the time she realized there was no connection to her husband, she still had no idea why the men were really after the doll. At that point, the only way to figure out what they were up to was to keep the doll from them.

The other problem is that even she got rid of the doll, Roat would still be convinced she had it, threaten her, and things would have played out the same.
