Very disappointing (some spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2002)

I was very disappointed in this movie. It's just another serial killer with too much time on his hands, tons of money, the ability to pass through walls and the ability to manipulate time, space and circumstance and no real reason for what he's doing. I've often wondered about the serial killers in the movies, and this one baffled me. In a world where you can go places and kill wholesale, this guy spent an entire year to kill one guy? And how could the detectives be part of the plot? How could he know who would be assigned or what their circumstances would be? What if they took an extra three weeks to find his hidden clues? Wouldn't that throw the whole thing off? In the scene where they found his apartment and he fired at them and ran away (which was odd since they had no evidence on him) I got the feeling they were chasing the Phantom of the Opera. As to the ending - I'd take the case any day. No jury in the world would convict so it meant nothing. I was expecting a darker ending.
