Wasn't worth the $1.00 I paid at Redbox

Jesus H...where do I begin with this? This movie COULD have been pretty decent, and had a good cast. So where did it go wrong? Blame the screenwriter for writing lines that don't even sound normal, the director for making it anyway, and anyone else involved should be tried for high treason.

SPOILERS AHEAD



1. The torture/rape scene at the beginning of the movie just seemed like something that was made up to "shock" the audience by being different. Not only are the killer's methods ridiculous, but the director chooses to emphasize the near naked body of one of the victims too much. Remember, this is a RAPE...not Girls Gone Wild.

2. It became pretty obvious after about 15 minutes or so that whoever looks suspicious (like using a cell phone, or complaining about the upper-crust students) is NOT part of the threat to Pacino. Bad movies have been made like this in the past...why aren't people smart enough to see through that by now?

3. It was far too obvious that the victim who escaped (Lauren) was behind it. Why would she tell a 60+ year old man to "go get the guy"? Likely Pacino would have wound up dead.

4. WTF was Pacino thinking by agreeing to be in this? Did the director blackmail him or something?

5. No one talks normally in this movie. The car blows up, and Kim says "Now what?", when a normal reaction would have been "HOLY GOD THAT CAR JUST BLEW UP, ARE YOU OKAY??"

6. The "Laughing Killer At The End Of The Movie" has been done far too many times. They teach that in Movie Cliches 101.

7. Firetrucks don't drive like that around people, forcing them to jump out of the way or be run over. Maybe that happens in Red China, but not in Seattle.

8. If William Forsythe is supposed to represent the best and brightest of the FBI, then all I can say is that I'm not surprised that 9/11 was primarily the fault of the FBI.

9. The absolute WORST part: I forgot to get this movie back to Redbox on time and paid DOUBLE ($2.00) for it...worst money I ever spent.
