shonevolinekog The first thing that I must say is that many reviewers probably do not understand what kind of audience these films are watching. They think that everyone understands the point of the film, but the point is that not all viewers have over-knowledge of cinema.Therefore, by this way, I want to say, everyone who is undecided, you have to watch the film, because of the very unusual and unexpected plot-twist of the story.My rating is 10/10And I want to apologize for my poor knowledge of English/

ackid-29742 Was cool and should have ended on a happy note. Very disappointing last 10 minutes. From beginning 00:01-93:59, the movie served its purpose. From decent acting, typical "straight to DVD" story-line, the whole 9 yards. Little tough trying to watch Jen Carpenter, without her "Dexter's sis" Truck driver potty mouth. If the movie ended 5 minutes earlier, I think the reviews would have been much better. The plot twist was a nice ending, just could have ended sooner.

blaynebittner I've read better serial killer novels and seen better movies than this. I am, however, a Jennifer Carpenter and John Cusack fan. That being said, I was surprised to see Mae Whitman in the movie. She has improved in acting since the show Weeds. Jennifer Carpenter seemed to play a role she was already comfortable with. John Cusack acted well as almost always.Dallas Roberts was great in his role, which surprised me. I hope to see more of Mae Whitman and Dallas Roberts in the future. The movie is worth seeing just because of the unexpected quality of acting of those two. If you aren't a big John Cusack fan, you probably won't enjoy it anyway.The film has a lot less plot holes than people say it does, but still has a fair number of them. Some of the plot holes that people think they noticed in previous reviews were explained with foreshadowing. Paying attention to foreshadowing in this movie made me predict almost everything in the entire movie.The movie is quite gory, but not nearly as gross as movies like hostile nor Saw, which I turned off. This movie, I rate a 6. Why do I rate it a six out of ten? I would have preferred them to replace some scenes with plot development. They also could have shortened the movie with getting rid of some completely unnecessary and dull scenes.I was a bit disappointed in Jennifer Carpenter's performance because I want to see her get into a role she hasn't done before. I think she could do a lot better than this, and her typecast is holding her back.Despite most of the movie being predictable with obvious foreshadowing, there were a few things I didn't expect to happen. I won't ruin the movie by telling you what they were. However, its worth a watch if you enjoy serial killer movies/novels.People saying its torture porn aren't completely incorrect. There were a couple scenes that went too far in my opinion, but it wasn't nearly as gross as I suspected based on reviews.The movie is somewhat forgettable, but worth watching once when in the mood for a half decent serial killer movie. The movie had a lot more potential in theory, but lacked in application. Its not terrible, but its not great neither.

nicats69 This movie was the worst movie I have seen in a long time. It was all good up until the end. Sitting on the edge of your seat kind of thriller. Just when you think they have it figured out there is a twist at every turn. That last turn just dove off the cliff. A total crash and burn. Just don't watch it it will disappoint. A review needs 10 lines of text? Really how much can you say about a movie that just ends horrible! Pretty in Pink is a much better choice if you are looking for John Cusack movies. If you into the bottom of the pit movies and trying to top your last worst movie then take a dive into this but otherwise just pass it up.Wish I had read the reviews before sitting thru that.
