a prime example of what happens when a film has too many plot twists


this movie starts out pretty great with an intriguing idea and a unique enough premise. but one of the things that sinks this movie is all the plot twists and how they start to undermine the story. it ultimately takes the believabilty and the intrigue, and breaks them leaving an absurd mess of events. the story just doesnt really make much sense by the end and it doesnt have much reason for existing by that point. its such a shame because it really was a great idea to start out.

It really does have way too many twists and endless character second guessing.

It's not a great film by any means, but I have to admit I quite like the various twists in this film, contrived as they may well be.🐭

The final twist was too much but I liked a lot of the other ones, especially that Sinise and Theron were lovers.
