my thoughts on this movie
Soooo....
Not sure where to begin. Um, i watched this movie expecting it to be something else. As the movie went on i realized it wasn't the same movie, but i kept watching on regardless. Jeff Denton who plays Jack i thought did pretty good as well as Sarah Lieving who played Melinda. I thought she was the best acted of the group. As far as the other girls they were below average, but not to the point where you were embarrassed for them. Where this movie is flawed is in the writing and story. First of all, we should have had more background about WHY jack does what he does. They should have built it up a little bit more. I really think that a good serial killer in any movie needs a good background story. When he told us about his girlfriend leaving him i actually thought he was joking. Just to *beep* around with the girls. Secondly, what exactly was jack's plan; what was he going to do with the girls. I got the impression that there was no "plan" in the writers mind. They wrote the story with no idea what he would do, but that it would never get that far. If he really is a serial killer then he must have done this many times before..so he should have had some kind of plan. Not just rape them..kill a few..sleep in bed with one...wake up..and have a "big day ahead" and kill at random times or no good reasons.. Finally, i feel the biggest flaw in this movie was that i actually felt sympathy for Jack. The girls were THAT annoying and Melinda the heroine of the story..really didn't do enough for me to want her to kill him. They all looked (and i hate to use it) but they looked slutty. The rape scene was done very poorly. There was no passion there..no emotion..the girls just took it like an uninterested lover. The rape had no power and was wasted. Jack was pretty much the worst serial killer ever. If he had a gun all along why not use the gun to be more sure they don't run. And he sure did heal pretty good from those multiple gun shots and getting hit by a car. Overall..weak movie..but i've def. seen worse.
