Utter Garbage

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2015)

I have not read the book but will now just in the hope of finding something that justifies the hype around this story. The film was like a farce which to me verged on the comical with the cartoon-esque type characters. Another reviewer comments that had this been billed as a dark comedy it might have just cut the mustard and with that I agree but a tense psychological thriller? No way. It was not cleverly written, there were plot holes galore (the diary really bugged me...even after slight burning I think they could have told that it had been recently written)and the whole of Amy's escape story was just utter hogwash. The acting was abysmal; with the exception of Carrie Coon (Margo)who presented the only sympathetic and remotely realistic character in the whole thing, Not my cup of tea at all.
