overrated

I didn't like it. Some bits were ok but over all I'd give it a 5.5/10.
I thought it was predictable, yes even the ending, and some bits just didn't make sense.

*SPOILER*
DON'T READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL IT!

Like near the end, when the kid pulls up the gas station on his bike, and encounters his dad there with Bobby, he acts suprised, why!? DIDN'T HE SEE THE COP CAR OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE HE HAD TO RIDE PAST?! Stupid.

And the acting was very mediocre too imo, espeicially the two 'gangsters'. And where the did the woman go after she was shot and fell in the water? I doubt there was a hospital in the area.

*SPOILER MORE*

oh and at the end, it didn't explain it very well how she did the transition of being in a closed casket that assumingly did have a bottom to it too otherwise the gangsters would've seen that there's no coffin padding underneath. If the coffin had a bottom, then she couldn't really get to the bottom compartment.

That's why they call it "The Magic of Television"
