What a waste

Rating: 3/10 (18 July 2005)

I don't really think my review will contain a spoiler, but some might take it that way. Anyway, although the acting is great, the story just falls apart midway or even before. It's just a waste. Too bad since it had great potential. I can take movies with tragic endings if they at least make sense. I figured out who killed this girl even before midway through the movie, but thought it still could be worth watching. The ending is just such a let down. It doesn't make sense for a variety of reasons. Who killed her makes sense, but the why is stupid. Then the fact that Jimmy takes matters into his own hands just doesn't make sense since he has two remaining daughters to think about and from his comments in the movie, you'd think he wouldn't want to be separated from them. Sean, I would think is supposed to be a good cop, but he and his partner sure do miss a lot of clues along the way. It's as if the second half of the movie is written for people who have never read or watched a mystery before. For anyone who is a fan of mysteries, this one is just a waste because it can be solved right off the bat.
