Waste of my time

Rating: 6/10 (31 December 2017)

For a movie which built so much tension throughout the first hour or so, a lot was wasted in the last third part of the film. As a positive, the acting, script and the twists, especially midway through the film, set up for a spectacular finale. However, what we are left with is a wasted opportunity, when the movie takes a sudden change of tone, from a crime drama to an almost romantic finish. There were many moments where the film could have simply ended, albeit on a much better note, rather than extending it far too long, and creating unanswered questions the answers to which are essential to the main storyline. In my opinion, the film needed to be shorter or longer - either not have brought about new issues which were not explored sufficiently in the first place (shorter), or alternatively, extending the film a bit more to demonstrate the consequences of the character's respective actions (longer). Instead, we are left somewhere in between, completely dissatisfied.
