almost comical in retrospect [SPOILERS]


Just saw this movie again recently thanks to Netflix, and it just occurred to me that there's an almost, ALMOST something comical about the way everyone who has it in for Olivia winds up killing each other even as they all go after her, and yet she remains oblivious throughout it all.

It's like watching a real life Roadrunner or Mr. Magoo cartoon.

I agree. How can a woman have absolutely no antennae for discernment. As for the trio of creeps, how the *beep* did all of them meet and mutually agree to do this woman in. I can only conjecture what happened to her mother, perhaps these three losers did her in as well! Yeah, the contrivances in this film makes the whole thing almost comical!

Y'all are just jealous haterzzz. I'd love to go through life as totally clueless Olivia, never wondering if there might be SOME kind of connection to everyone getting killed around me. Her character always seemed a bit 'slow', maybe she just knew how to get through life with the brain of a reptile, strictly midbrain, no cerebrum. At least she knew to breathe when she needed oxygen.

Actually, Olivia was protected by her HP. Just the same, it was amusing how all these scoundrels surrounding her bit the dust one by one with her being clueless as to what was going on.
