Spoiler alert - I finally got round to watching this on Monday night. It's a n excellent film right up until the final five - ten mintutes when that "Twist" happens. I've no issue with twists coming from left field as long as they still work with the films internal logic but this one doesn't. She was given a lift there by Alex, where did she get the big meat truck from? How did the car chase happen? She would have had to have been driving both vehicles at once!!! The car crash led to the first injury she received... It didn't make sense. If that scene was cut off the end it would have been a fantastic film but instead I'm left thinking how stupid the ending was. | ||

 Yep, I wondered about the logic when I saw it last year - it's possible that some things were her imagination, but that doesn't work for everything. | ||

I remember thinking the female protagonist was an imaginary projection of the hulking killer - a sort of extended fantasy, he imagining this heroine who impotently struggles against him, as he goes on his killing spree... but it's been so long since I've seen it, I have no idea how I worked that out.... It's a particularly brutal film, that much I remember, and difficult in some scenes to watch. | ||

Except that she's the killer not him... If it wasn't for the final couple of minutes I would have said it was a brilliant film - at least 9/10. But that twist makes no sense at all. | ||

I generally thought it was fairly worthless one-note stuff, then the twist dropped the arse out of the film and instead of just uninspired crap it became nonsensical uninspired crap. | ||

It was well made and extremely tense for most of the film. It's only that ending that dragged the film down for me. | ||

I agree with Weber - I really enjoyed this one, but the ending stretched credibility. I did work it out to make some kind of sense, but have now forgotten what that sense was. :-/ |
