This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
not as good as all the hype
Best movie ever!
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreIf you enjoy watching a 35 + woman behave like an immature naive 17 year old girl then you will enjoy this flick. Her name is Catherine but she prefers Katie. Aside from the horrible acting, the casting is terrible. We are supposed to belief that the 30something gorgeous single woman is so desperate that she is turned on by some old man perv taking advantage of a burglary to cop a feel. He almost throws her over a balcony and attempts to force himself on her against her will, yet she stays with him. Oh, and we are supposed to believe this supermodel 30 something behaves like a wallflower in class and puts private love letters in a large plastic drawer labeled letters. Serioiusly, the main character has the emotional maturity of a adolescent 12 year old. Who casted this movie anyway? it is like a long parade of unattractive men who cannot act. And the fate of Katie rest in their hands....ugh
View MoreFor ten years the majority of product oozing out of Hollywood has been miserably amateurish, badly written, poorly produced...and this is a perfect example of predictable nonsense that is beyond boring and immeasurably disappointing and a total waste of time. Just another attempt that is making me HATE movies...
View MoreBy definition, a suspense film is supposed to be full of suspense. However, it is a little hard to feel said suspense when you know the ending, the so-called "twist" in the plot, and so forth, five minutes into the movie. Everything was consistent; all the pieces fit together at the end and there's none of that "that didn't make sense" feeling like there is with some films. (Warning! The following statements may be spoiler-esque.) But the early scenes were too revealing, particularly Katie's memory of the robbery- not so much where she tells the cop what happened, but when she's just thinking about it privately. I think the writers have been reading too many psych text books. I think it's a decent plot twist in and of itself, but it was made too obvious for anyone who's ever read anything about it. Perhaps they got too carried away with how clever they were to actually incorporate and conceal it cleverly in the story.
View MoreFrom the moment this film opens, it grabs hold of you and never lets go till the final frame. A woman who we later find out is Katie Griffin, drives to a police station and tells the police that there has been a car crash, and that a woman has been killed. She thinks that her lover, the man she had an affair with for the last eight months, has killed his wife so he could inherit his wife's money, and marry her. She thinks he must have tampered with her car, to make it go off the road.The wife is not actually dead, but in a coma. Her husband is a writer, and teaches a ten-week writing course. The police confront him and escort him to the hospital. His story is that they never had an affair, that she was just an obsessive student of his, in love with him and making a terrible nuisance of herself. If the car was tampered with to kill the wife, then she would have done it out of jealousy.Both their stories fit all the known facts. Their descriptions of events differ, but they both talk about the same events. The audience is kept guessing all the way through. Which one of their stories is true? Although many murder mysteries use artificial devices to keep the audience guessing, this brilliantly-written, brilliantly-directed film does it only with utterly believable, appropriate plot and character development.Near the end, when Katie hands over photos to the detective, the truth is revealed. But although the detective now knows the truth, the audience doesn't actually see what's in those photos until the very satisfying, yet very surprising, end. If you love murder mysteries, and you love good films, this would certainly be one of the best you'll ever see.
