It falls apart

Rating: 4/10 (13 August 2007)

I saw this flick on net flix. I rented it primarily because of Shia Leboeuf. It started out interestingly as a thriller, starting slowly and developing some tension following the Rear Window routine, gradually letting the audience in on various secrets. David Morse was good as a suspect, affable but menacing. It also, in the first two thirds of the movie avoided gore blood, etc. I like the characters except for SLs friend who I think was grossly over the top and way too fey. The girl lead was intriguing, but not fleshed out enough as a person. THEN at the last one-third of the movie it fell completely apart degenerating into an obvious slasher--just awful. I say don't see this movie,unlike Fracture it just isn't interesting enough to waste your time on.
