Was the assinine editing on purpose?


Or was it a huge f-up? I assume Rosario Dawson is still in that van. lol, easily a 1 out of 10.

Could have been a solid 7 if characters had acted like they weren't in a movie.

Terrible editing, terrible directing, terrible script.

Anyone who rates a film a 1 on IMDB should be banned from voting. You're exactly the reason ratings can't be trusted. It's far from the worst movie ever, which is what a 1 rating means.

Actually, a "1" rating means it is in the worst 10% of movies. I've rated about 1000 movies, so there should be 100 with a rating of 1. One out of every ten movies you see should be bad enough for a 1 rating, just like one out of every ten should be good enough for a 10 rating. This one was a solid "4" however.

"Enough of that technical talk, Foo!"

Seems to me, the movie was edited that way to manipulate the audience and keep us guessing, which I personally enjoyed.

The version I watched Rosario Dawson is rescued from the van. The scene is quick so we are left not knowing if she was dead or alive.
