Don't get your hopes up

Rating: 6/10 (21 November 2015)

This movie starts out very good. All of the scenes are well done and shot at a high level. The acting is very good too. As the movie unfolds, it definitely keeps your interest and remains compelling. In the beginning, you overlook some flaws because of the amusement, good acting, and entertainment, thinking they are going to be a bare minimum. But as you progress towards the end, one major big flaw keeps arising, and it starts to become a joke and the film loses credibility. In a nutshell, ask yourself, "How can a serial killer who has been known and found out from the very start of the film, in an age of radio, television, and phones just go wherever he wants whenever he wants and nobody recognizes him or reports him? How can the FBI and police force not catch up to him after all those days and weeks?" Haha. It's hilarious. If you think about it, it is one of the stupidest plot holes and oversights you might have ever seen. And this is just the tip of it. You can go into more details too. I say, "It's like he's the "invisible man"". Then there is how everyone he is out to get acts stupid and have no powers that most humans have intellectually. They lack reasoning skills. Moss, at times, does, but only at times, and eventually he succumbs to the stupid nature anyone who isn't a serial killer seems to possess. Lol. It's a good movie, but the lack of realism in the story that this guy just keeps getting away with everything is ridiculous and way too far fetched. Last but not least, you will absolutely hate the main character, and when you view the end, because you hate him so much, and watch him get away from law enforcement for the 100th time (like they don't exist Lol), there's a good chance you should and will hate this film. Still, professionally, it is a well made movie with good acting, cinematography, and overall interesting story so 6/10. You want to like these overrated Hollywood movies, but they just always seem to let you down.
