I'm tired of crappy films like this



Write and direct a film that makes sense, without all the open questions. Is it so hard to make a logical film anymore?

I'm halfway through this movie and am already annoyed. Why doesn't she finish reporting what was so obviously a murder that she saw from her window? Why doesn't she get another lock after the creepy guy across the way comes and installs her lock and keeps a master key? I sure as hell wouldn't leave it that way. And she goes and puts some flimsy chain lock on like that's gonna work. Why when the cops show up over the busted floor tiles doesn't she show them the threatening letters at the same time so that they will believe her? The comment the lawyer makes that what she has is "circumstantial"--the threatening letters sounds like evidence to me, not circumstantial. I guess I'll watch the rest of it but it's full of holes so far.

And now I'm totally annoyed! I just finished watching. **SPOILER**
The guy across the way is a good guy? After showing him at the beginning washing off blood and the dead body on his floor? They never explain this. Stupid movie.

Umm except it wasn't blood, it was paint. Clearly shows his apartment full of paintings that he did in the end. And you just assume she's dead when all you can really see is like her legs lying there. There was no murder that's pretty clearly explained at the end

Not to mention at the end the very last painting you see before the one with Greg is the woman posing on the red sheets/bed. He was just painting her, and washing red paint off his hands. You never see a dead women you just see her legs lying down on a bed. Go watch that part again.. And then watch the last 2 minutes with the locksmith and his paintings. It's very clearly explained

What open questions? Everything seemed pretty straight forward and obvious to me

reply

Exactly...but my only question would be...unless I missed something...what happened to the noisy bonk women..during the whole fight scene etc you never see her..nor the you was doing the repairs in the building

Sorry nor the simple Handyman guy
