Good start, little substance, terrible ending
Ok, let's begin a discussion on this 11 year old movie.
This movie needed at the very least, another 20 minutes to have been done right.
What happened to the ending of this movie? It sucked.
I don't know where others got this idea that it was a perfect thriller.
There was very little thrill and a lot of stupidity at the end.
First off, she's an FBI agent for 4+ years and she is going to break into a house where she has no idea what she is going to find and really has no reason to. She just blindly (on impulse) decides to break the law for pretty much no reason. Then, while in the house she gets the 1 girl out the window but can't pull herself out the window for 5 minutes while the dude is burning up trying to break through the door? Especialy with a dresser there and a chair to use to get out? I mean a friggin retard could have gotten out. The one girl from the back room pulled herself out in less time with her hands tied in front of her.
This is where I lost intrerest. It was the stupid helpless female routine. Very lame. Actualy I started losing interest when she broke into the house to begin with, then more when she dropped her gun out the window, had her hand on it and didn't spend the extra 30 seconds to grab hold of it. This was rushed, bad directing and acting.
Then the very end when jordon walks out of the hospital with bandages around his wrists. What the hell was that about? His/Her hands were working fine, there was no reason for the bandages. It was stupid.
You can try to put all kinds of deep thoughts into duality and twin relationship. But this movie failed to really hit on it (in any sense of the term) profoundly.
This movie had potential and was blown by rushed stupidity.
I gave it a 1 cause the last half of the movie (from where you see Two Rivers on the wall in Jordons room) was so lame. I really don't care who was in it.
To explain further, look at Mission to Mars. That movie had potential and a lot of (at the time) respectable, good actors. That movie sucked also.
