Stupid cop, stupid ending (spoilers)


So the cop goes to "the woman's" house knowing someone was missing. Hears sawing, and a call for help. Why the hell would she just go in and not at least call for backup. Once you enter, somewhere along the way you hear the sawing stop. So now someone may be on the move cause they heard you come in. Her stupidity got her killed.

Ending made NO sense at all!

"The Man" is lying in the hospital still fixed on the thought that "The Woman" was his wife. Even after all she put him through? He had not remembered enough of her to assume that. The Detective shows up with enough evidence to take him to jail, but post no officer outside his door, so The Woman is able to walk in and presumably kill The Man. He makes it easy for her by not calling out for help. He'd rather stare at her while she kills him. But i guess it made no difference because absolutely no one is in the hospital as she walks out? The whole scenario was odd.

Kate Bosworth looked horrible. She looked like a walking mummy. Is she anorexic? Geez....go eat something.

Movie had potential. Script was executed all wrong.

I largely agree with most of your points, but I have come to accept there are a certain set of movie conventions, and they seem to be using them here. Did not Jodie Foster do much the same thing in Silence of the Lambs?

I find things like putting down the phone without saying goodbye (which the cop did here) to be very strange, but this happens all the time in movies though I've never experienced it myself with someone I know.

It would be good for film makers to address these little points which are easy to do. If you want the cop to enter the house alone it is so easy to invent a small point to explain such an unwise decision.

Nevertheless I did enjoy the movie.

Very true. There are a lot of movies that fail to address or clarify certain things, which I don't understand. Like you say, it is quite easy to do. All it takes is a quick line from an actor, or a certain (very) brief scene. Irritates the crap out of me.

Or you hear someone scream bloody murder for help, knowing that this is potentially a dangerous position for you and the person in need yet you don't have your gun out??? I mean really? I've seen movies when pull out the gun for much less.

I agree with some of your points but Kate being skinny is ridiculous. So what? If she was chunky you would be mad too.

Actually, not true. I like thick women. 
