Garden shears (spoilers)


Who did the blind man stab with the garden shears? I presumed it was Alex, but he got up and didn't appear stabbed... I may have not been paying attention too much during this film.

reply

I was confused, too. It didn't make sense at all. Alex just got up a few minutes later?

reply

The first of the trio, Money. Notice his faux fur coat...

reply

You'd think the blind man would have sensed more than one body or that his aim was way off?

reply

He didn't have to sense the other body, he was the one who put it there in the first place. And to hit Money instead of Alex while standing above Alex, he would have to stretch his arms out far to one side and miss on purpose.

It's just a really stupid plot hole to keep Alex alive. Shameful writing/directing, depending on whose choice it was.

reply

He stabbed money, who was already dead. He had put him there earlier in the plastic bag and Alex found him propped up against the wall and when he lifted the bag to look the body fell over so it was on the floor.
