Got a little ridiculous......(spoi ler)

The movie is decent enough, but simply had one too many plot twists which had to make for more than a little ridiculous super-girl performance by the heroine to escape the final deathtrap.

In the final scenes when she is struggling with Jenks, she repeatedly escapes a situation where Jenks is practically on top of her, holding here down, one where he has her on the rail outside his house and is getting ready to pitch her into the ocean and she simply 'gives him the elbow' and escapes his clutches. Three other times, her gun is laying on the floor and he pulls her away from it and puts her in a lock again and she easily escapes with another 'elbow' to grab the gun and finish him off.....give me a break.

Of course, the most ridiculous point was that Jenks was previously shot twice in the leg(s) so he wouldn't he up and walking around anyway at that point in time.

Points taken, but have you ever seen a good movie with ZERO plot holes?

you'd be surprised what you could do if you wanted to survive badly enough and kill the person responsible for the death of someone you were going to spend the rest of your life with. Also she just survived a rare blood disease because of her will to catch the killer of the brides and grooms and do you think she's go through all that just to be killed. I do think tho that she should've been charged with murder cause jenks was down when she shot him in the head, the first shot i can understand as it was self defence but the second was intent to kill

"sir, sir, i gotta check and see if you've soiled yourself, I'll get to you in a moment, sir!"
