Not so much!

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2004)

Um, Where do I start? There wasn't enough evidence to accuse the neighbor of murder...there was way too much dialogue....the plot line was a little shaky and very boring. I would have to say that this movie is a huge disappointment for me. Could there be any more talking, please? (note the sarcasm) A movie is supposed to depict story through imagery and finite dialogue, I seriously fell asleep after the droning on and on and on and....on. After the first 30-45 minutes, I couldn't stay awake, I actually had to fast forward through a large portion in the middle. And where does Jeffries get off suspecting his neighbor? That was not believable in the least. Uh, if I were to spy on any of my neighbors, which is a little, no a lot, weird in the first place, I wouldn't be so bold as to jump to the conclusion that he murdered his wife based on his going in and out of his apartment in the rain at odd hours and carrying a saw and knife around the house. I got the impression that the neighbor's wife was so ill that she was taken to her family's home out of town via the train due to the husband's incapability of caring for her any longer. In other words, he moved her home to mom and dad because he couldn't take on the responsibility anymore. And if you are as ill as she seemed to be, why would you need your purse or jewelry of all things? Not going anywhere anyway. I didn't get that the neighbor was a killer or a threat. I understand that Jeffries thought so, but when anyone is that bored and lonely with nothing else to do but sit near a window and neighbor watch, your imagination gets the best of you. Needless to say when it was all said and done, I was very displeased, but had a good nap.
