Huge Plot Hole. What was the killer's motivation for baiting and taunting Quid through the whole movie? It felt contrived and didn't make sense.

Honestly. I've already scrolled this movie out of my head to make room for newer information.

Seriously, I can't remember anything about this movie. It's messed up, I only saw it a couple months ago according to the thread.

Sorry.

I can't. It's written on my underwear.

I don't think he did. It was more a case of Quid, coincidentally being in the vicinity of the first murder we see and then gradually becoming more suspicious of the killer who had left in his van, just before Quid had begun his journey.

I believe it was because the killer hid some of his victim's bodies in Quid's truck and was trying to retrieve them before they were discovered.

To frame him, of course.

yep. that's why he put the corpse in his truck and gave his name(which he learned from the truck, as quid said) to the police.

At least the op admits to limited mental capacity. Maybe rp69 should "scroll" something else out of their head (like their IMDb login info) to make room for more new new information- such as the definition of a plot hole.

Well said Beersandshots.

I quite like this movie, keeps you on edge the whole time. Watching it on TV right now for the 10th time.

We seen the film at the old Manly Odeon and right there you can see the truck driver was being framed for it.

That's not a plot hole. That's just a question you have about the movie.

People need to stop misusing the term "plot hole" to describe something they don't understand about a movie.
