The single hardest thing to believe about this movie:


NO ONE would have let a girl like Lorna just leave like that. Period.

Actually, I have seen that happen a lot!

I know, right? The whole time I was thinking, "Martin, you idiot, why did you let her go?"

"Sleep is for sissies."

The single hardest thing to believe about this movie:

That anyone would green light it.

The police would never include a potential suspect like Elijah Wood in all their meetings with Hurt, print out profiler data and hand it out to him, etc. Hurt wouldn't hobnob with a mere student either, but then there would be no film, or a totally different one. This film is a variation on Agatha Christie's THE ABC MURDERS where one significant victim is hidden in a series of murders to divert attention from the most logical perp.

For me it was when Seldom yelled at the construction workers to stop jackhammering whilst having a conversation with Frodo.


AND THEY ACTUALLY STOPPED! are you kidding me? And it also didn't help that the particular actors they chose to portray construction workers all looked like they could be wrestlers or biker gangs themselves.

The hardest things to believe about this movie:

- Martin packing his stuff again already only because the Prof made him look a bit silly during their first meeting.

- Two natural deaths at convenient times when the Prof is around.

- The jackhammer scene.

- The police involving two murder suspects into the case like they were detectives themselfs.

- Martin not having a look into the folded paper.

- A small bus crashing into a wood resulting in a huge fireball.

But the one that actually threw me off the movie for a moment:
- The start- or -landing pattern of the jets going straight over the airport building itself. At a height of about 150 ft. Yeah, sure.

Lorna was completely unlikeable. I have no problem in believing that he would cut her loose.

Probably got sick of cleaning up spaghetti all the time

Actually the single hardest thing to believe about this movie is that a well-respected professor would cover up the murder of a crazy girl based on his own false guilt, trusting that she would be able to restrain herself from confessing/revealing her crime at a future date thus making him guilty of conspiracy to cover up a murder/hamper an investigation.

No, the single hardest thing to believe about this movie was Elijah Wood as the romantic lead. He looked like teenager throughout, especially when he took off his shirt.
