: Tangled
This is one of those small thrillers that has a cool concept with a neat twist at the end and could have been another Sixth Sense, it simply gives us a few pieces of information that radically change the way we think about everything we’ve seen. Unfortunately, this gets paid out so quickly at the end, there’s little build-up or warning that a twist ending is coming. In this film, that’s bad, because things seem too predictable. Also, the cop characters seem overly suspicious, which is confusing. It’s like they are seeing something the rest of us don’t. (In reality it’s just bad writing — the cops know how the script ends.) I liked the characters, though they’re stereotypical, and I liked the twist ending. But the way this thing was put together it is a tangle itself, and that’s not good for a story. Just watch the final thirty minutes, that’s the only part that’s important.
