Ridiculous actions

This is one of the worst movies I've seen lately...but I didn't finish watching
this ridiculous film so maybe it improved but I doubt it.
When Cuba Gooding goes back to his house and deciphers the name and date
of the next 2 victims (on the legal pad where he initially wrote them down)
what does he do? Unbelievably (that's when I turned it off) he decides to
find the next victim to prevent her murder!! So instead of giving the info to the cops, his involvement leads to the next victims death..C'mon!! This is just
unbelievable!

Re: Ticking Clock. You should have stayed to finish watching it. It was not ridiculous and had some really exciting moments and a nice twist. It was an enjoyable 2 hours for me. I liked it and I admit that that legal pad thing had me going at first, but then it got better until it got really good. Give it a second chance.

This is my signature and I'm sticking to it. lol

I hope you're right Rav when you say the movie is worth sticking with. I'm about 30min in and he's acting pretty stupid IMHO.

Yeah, he drinks a lot but, I don't think the alcohol is his problem. He comes across as a disorganized glory hunter. A real loose cannon.

Er, OK. Just got stupider. (45min in)

Yikes, getting interesting! (Pretty decent dialogue and acting). A nice twist! 90min in.

OK, OK. I stuck it out. Ravmeltt was right. There's more to it than you'd think without watching the whole thing.

Flawed but, interesting and with some good suspense. Really worth seeing if you are a Cuba Gooding fan.

I'm glad you stuck it out McDaniel. Personally I'm a Cuba Gooding fan so I tend to watch anything he's in, but I did enjoy this movie. He's also been in 2 episodes so far of that new dhow "Forever" on ABC and he is too cute in it. I hope he sticks around. Check out Forever if you haven't been. It's a good show.

The ability to always see the worst in people and situations is often a hiding place for fear.
