Anyone else predict what would happen? (Spoilers)

E.g. As soon as we hear of stomach cramps that is suggestion of pregnancy and we reckon its Baldwins. Then when he mentions would you take $1million for a finger, likening it to the ovary removal for $20million.

Also was George C Scott (kessler) the defendants witness?)

Edit: Plus the sperm required, for me showed that this is a reason for something (a screenplay legend told me that scripts never have content for no reason, i.e. Clone Wars in Star Wars (1977).

Therefore the guessiing game in films (thrillers) can start much earlier. 8 Femmes was much tougher. Not spotting the twists is good too. End note: I love thrillers every since 39 Steops as a child on BBC2 recommended by my dad.

Just watched this on BBC 1 Thought it was going to be boring but didnt think how it was going to end in my mind a good few twists in there. And i noticed tobin bell from saw the man who was the serial rapist.

I spotted Tobin Bell too very earl(y) when he walks through tthe door with the filing cabinet when Ms Paltrow is leaving and knew they wouldn't put that in for no reason. Earl is a lame name for a janitor (I'm English too and just watching it for the first time on BBC1 too, was a choice in Radio Times and was meant to be breakthrough for Nicole (and it seems also Pullman).

Likes the kid bit at the end with the CPR doll the suspense was like Psycho. Apart form the Janitor room bit not much of a Thriiler, reminded me of Derailed, kinda 6 outta 10 not a 7. What do you think?

Do you have Digital or Freeview? Missouri Breaks on later.

I didn't get the main twist as early as you but early enough to disappoint me when it was actually revealed.

Like at the end the boy is blind so that was referring to him not seen anything at the window he just sat and stared.

[–] sjl004 17 years ago

The blind bit was a twist for me although wasn't crucial that much just humorous and showed that Nicole tried to kill a blind person who couldn'yt be a witness (if the kid was there she would know).

Did she WANT to get pregnant? I presume so nd this would tie it with the Red Herring (the phrase comes from wardning hounds away from foxes on hunts with smoked herring which appear red) as we hear of the sperm reference.

Not here. I thought A.B. would have more to do with it. But Nicole ended ant thoughts about that.
