The cast in this film, that is the main characters, all have reputations for being solid actors. I felt that perhaps they didn't have a lot to work with. *Because* they are good actors, whose performances I've enjoyed in other roles, I really wanted to like their characters in this movie. Maybe it was the directing? Or the script - the script was sooo full of holes. So full of holes. What else did I think as I was watching this? Oh, okay, if this is middle America I don't want to go, thenkyewveddymuch. One pair of characters who appealed were the mother and sister of one of the victims. Just a brief scene, but that one scene rang true, and the actress portraying the Mom did well. There just wasn't a whole lot from any of the characters to feel any empathy with, or sympathy for... so much potential, so lost. Also, figured out who the "bad guy" was pretty quickly. This movie felt like it was trying to be a lot of different things, or maybe that it could have been a lot of different things... yeah, at one point, I thought "is this supposed to be an existentialist movie?", like "Last Year at Marienbad"? *sigh*...so yeah, to be charitable, I think it was reaching high, but fell short.
