I really don't get the hate. Or the CSI references but then again I don't watch CSI....
People and their criticism kill me (not literally thankfully). The story is good, the acting is good and the locations and sets were very good.
... from a textbook 'serial killer' flick is that the lovely Famke Janssen fell for and went the Melanie Griffith/Meg Ryan/Renee Zellweger route to 'cosmetic rejuvenation'...
This is a well acted and well directed movie. The story, while deviating from the book, is still excellent and the locations/scenes are perfect.
Could have been so much better, but there are points in the movie where there's ridiculously poor acting.
Film felt a little rushed and some of the acting was a little off. Could have done with a little more psychological history of the antagonists.
I did not know they make films like these anymore, and we've seen stories like this one hundreds of times before. Rogue cop, personal involvement, sophisticated serial killers, etc..
We debated on whether to spend our time watching this movie due to some of the negative reviews. Overall, we found it interesting.
I must admit I did not read the book but I thought the premise was worth the watch. Character development was one dimensional.
