what a waste of all the good actors
6 January 2012
lousy screenplay with bad directing ruined the whole potentiality of this could-be-better movie. the storyline and scenario only made me wonder why there are so many serial killers and scumbags lowlifes in Texas. this state is supposed to be cowboy state with lot of strong-minded macho men there. but it seems that it has become a cesspool of scumbags. the shooting of this movie, the camera team did a lousy job in choosing and shooting from all bad angles. the green pontiac roaming the Texas countryside, the white guy with the tattoo, and his black partner-in-crime were two figures so obvious that all the audiences could see them miles away as soon as came into the scene, and the lousy script and the brain-dead director were just played dumb and blind to let the stupid screenplay play out. it's just so stupid, that's one thing. and then, put a lonely teenager among the horrible surroundings and then let her been kidnapped in the daylight was also an unbelievable stupid arrangement. the screenplay also put a weak-minded emotionally wrecked stressed out religious detective from new york (WTF?!) to partner with a local detective, doing a dog-chasing-its-own-tail always two step behind worthless investigation. the emotional wreck cop didn't contribute anything in solving this serial killing case. the only thing seemed to work and try so hard in this stupid movie was the sound track, kinda intense and intensified to put tension on the viewers but didn't work at all. i don't have anything to describe this movie but just one word: "STUPID". yes, what a stupid way to waste all the good actors and money.
