Unnecessarily convoluted and anti-climactic.


This movie was ridiculous. It was like nobody even tried - the writers, the actors. The only person who did a solid (albeit uninspired) job was the director of photography. The plot was ludicrous, and it's like the writers wanted to throw as many twists into the movie as possible, as if that would somehow save it. I was left completely unsatisfied. Alex was a joke - she was alright at the start until she warped into a stereotypical lesbian serial killer, and then went even more downhill after that if it's possible. And what's even worse is that they made the two real bad guys out to be the good guys. If they truly wanted revenge on David, they would have killed him themselves, not made some girl take the rap for it because they wanted all his money. In real life, their plan was so messy and ridiculous that it would never have worked. So many things would have to go impossibly perfect for that to ever happen, and most of what they did didn't even make sense - it was just filler to make us believe something else was going on when it wasn't. For example, why did Sara pay off that guy at the bar to hit on Alex? What was the point in that? Also, who wants to watch their sister having sex with the guy who killed their mother? Gross. Honestly, I don't even know why this movie was made. The script needed so much more work.
