Excellent acting, suspense, and certainly kept me guessing.

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2015)

( This is being written in my 'simpleton mode' because I was typing all day before watching this film, but hope the points get across:)
The acting was awesome. The sets were true to life. The main actress played a great psychopath. As a musician/composer I strangely enough did not notice the music. That means either it was dull or it was so good at seeming together the moods of the film that it went past the ears straight into my subconscious mind.
Now as far as the story line goes, I felt the lack of any images of his wife on all of the media coverage was unrealistic and it seemed to lessen the chance that the girl she befriended at the hotel would ever connect the dots and rat her out. The film reminded me of how much I really hate mainstream media and Nancy Grace. Living out of any spotlight has been a real privilege. People shouldn't wish for such icky things. The last 30 minutes could have played out in any of a number of ways. One of which I would have taken (too?). I can't say, that would be a spoiler;) Bottom line, the film was a very good suspense thriller that kept me captivated. By that last 20 minutes the I think just about any viewer would feel they were being shown a top notch movie simply because of the awesome acting. The 'Elvis' attorney was a bit shallow, but that was the point. The sister was the leavener of the film and added the warmth that seemed to missing from the psycho wife's parents roles. The pen pal ex boyfriend was performed very convincingly. Overall, an 8 out of ten.
