What a let down.

Rating: 2/10 (24 December 2016)

OK, so this contains spoilers but I will not say a lot.
First of all, as someone else on the message boards wrote this movie is just PERFECT if you want to understand whether someone has an understanding of movies or just generally *smart*. The movie contains at least a couple plot holes and a **ton** of stuff just to fill the gaps. I will give some examples.
1-Why did Alex, who didn't even say a word after all that interrogation just randomly spouts that stupid "They didn't cry until I left them". Like what? How dumb is this line. Just think about it, first of all how does he know that he is one of the fathers of the girls. Even if he does know somehow, let's say he saw them from the van, why the hell would you say that to him, and there? Literally anyone could've heard them. There's like 20 people around them, but oh no...
2-Going with Alex again, why did he break at the end? Why? This guy literally beat you half to death. Couldn't hit you one more time without killing you, he showered you with boiling water, let you live with your own filth for I don't know how many days. Why the hell in the end would you break *at that perfect time* at the end? So stupid of the writers.
3-How can they not check the ID of someone they take into custody FOR KIDNAPPING OF 2 CHILDREN.!!!! Like what the hell. How dumb is this thing. I called the entire ending the moment they showed the first boy who was kidnapped, and I am sure anyone with a little bit of intelligence did the same. Unless you watched like a couple movies in your life time and you think this movie deserves an 8.1.
4-Another thing, why would Keller have his gun in his bag. You tortured someone for 7~ days. Are you afraid to kill the person you are almost *sure* that kidnapped your daughter? Lets say he wanted to hide the gun, why is it not on him? Holly didn't even search him.
5-Oh, oh. I'm adding this after writing everything because it just occurred to me. HOW DUMB is the character Bob Taylor? Maybe I don't understand but please someone tell me. Why would he take the blame for everything? Why would he steal those girls clothes just to make them look like they died? Why would he commit suicide in the first place?
Even Holly said she FORGOT about him. Goddamn what the hell.
6-I'm sure there is a lot more to say about this *thing* but one last thing. People. Please. Stop. Arguing. Whether. Detective Loki, heard the whistle or not.
OF COURSE HE DID, did you watch the ending or did you fall asleep?!
He looks around after the 3rd time he hears the whistle, and after the 4th time he literally locks on to a direction! You should be able to deduct that he knows something is up.
Just because whoever's genius idea it was to leave it like that, they didn't show him being rescued and put to prison, doesn't mean you shouldn't even pay attention, like god damn.
After all this I gotta say, I bashed the movie pretty hard, but it deserved it. Also I should add that after all that stupid bulls*it I still kind of enjoyed the movie.
If those dumb plot holes could've been filled with actual writing, this movie would've then deserved an 8.1 or even higher.
Maybe not higher. Like I said, EVERYONE saw that ending coming from a mile away.
