Just watched it and....(spoilers)


Wow, just wow, I loved it! It's hard to find a good thriller these days and this movie just left me speechless. I watched it with my friend last night after a co-worker told me about the movie. During movies we usally talk, eat and leave the room but the whole time we were just glued to the screen.

Spoilers: The whole time my friend and I thought that Sara was the one that you should be feeling bad for. Then it was told that she stole a car, the both of us just said ok whatever teenage rebelion. The director then made you feel even more Sympathy for her when Dennis had the gun in her mouth, that would make any woman cringe. So she tried to talk him into sleeping with her, maybe in her mind that was a way to get him on her side. But then Dennis, the prison escapee handcuffs Trip, the bank robber, to the bed with Sara, the hostage. Sara then kisses Trip after her got the duct tape off her mouth. My friend and I just though ok so she must have stockholm syndrome. But then...she cuts off his thumb and eats it. That seriously made us think that they finally broke her, that Dennis screwed with her mind and she was shot so she could be just loosing her mind.

But as the movie rolls on you learn that Sara is a rich girl and she is worth have a million dollars and the Prisoner Escappee and The bank robber are Brothers and they set this whole thing up just for money (this is after Sara stabs Dennis a few times) Now you are feeling so bad for Sara cause now Trip is tripping and yelling like a mad man with a gun pointed at Sara who has been shot twice and stabbed once. But then Sara gets a hold of the gun and hold Trip at gun point and she tells Trip that one little scar wont make a difference cause she has loads of them. Trip asks her what she is and she gets this smile and says a survior, and telling him thats 'It's ok to be fascinated by me, they always are'

Now the director makes you think, Trip and Dennis are not the first because she says they. She then ends Trip's life and just walks out of the motel room like nothing happened.

End Spoilers

But it was amazing acting on the actors part, I would love to see more movies from this director cause the whole time your thinking and the one you feel bad for is the one who you really shouldn't. Movies like these are so rare and so hard to find, I give this movie an A+.

I got the impression that Sara goes so far as to set them up with a fake contract. Her father is not likely wealthy whatsoever.
