Pants / Christopher Lee deserved so much better


This film was pants. Not even ample shots of Hilary Swank in her swanky pants could save a film that was pants.

As for Christopher Lee... the fact that his face was not even visible in his final scene made me wonder if he had exited the production by this stage (assuming that his last scene was filmed chronologically). What a wasted opportunity for Lee and Swank.

Also, there were hardly any clear face shots of Swank's ex in this film too, which particularly stood out for me. Is he really bad at acting or something?

Finally, what was with the scene where Swank's stalker landlord is talking to an architect or builder, or similar, as she enters the building. This scene seemed to be laying the foundation for something important later on but I either misssed what that was or it just went nowehere, like so much else in this mess of a movie.

Pants.

Well said. Lee's character had no point at all, except perhaps as a harsh judge of the grandson's criminal personality and of course

as the grandson's first victim.

Total waste of a wonderful actor, although of course it was very nice just to see him.

Moronic observation.
