Overrated and pointless; skip this one

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2007)

Is this real? I mean, it's a pretty hokey film. I didn't even know they made stuff like this. Starts off alright, then becomes really great, and then tapers off with a really ridiculous plot twist. Really, this was a perfectly good crime thriller until they introduce the twist, and then it all starts to slowly fall apart. Maybe to some people it seems fine, but I don't like it at all. It feels like the retarded little brother of Memento and The Machinist, trying to be those films, yet coming out just slightly skewed. And under all of that gloss, it's just a slasher film, a Friday the 13th write off. Really doesn't look too good to write about this one on paper, rather than watching it. This movie feels very fake and artificial by the end, an attribute to which the plot twist does NOT help in the least, and it really unravels down to the bare bones of it's mediocrity with the absolutely horrible ending.
But this film isn't without moments, for it's rather enjoyable for the bulk of it's duration. Before the plot twist, you're really fired up and enjoying this one. I know I was. The interactions between characters and all of the kills are pretty enjoyable, but, it just keeps coming back to how bad it gets in the last 15 minutes or so. Not recommended to fans of serious movies.
