Average Thriller (Spoilers)


Not much of a thriller here. I thought it was too predictable and had little suspense.

Some things that I didn't like and took me out of the movie were the reasons as to why Diana helped John Doe in the beginning. Sure she thought he was innocent because he said the same thing that her wrongfully accused father said, but to me, I still didn't think that the reason was good enough for her to jeopardize her career and life all on a hunch. I just thought it was a bit thin and she acted on barely any information. It was like she knew he was innocent right from the get go just because he couldn't remember even though there were medical reasons for his memory loss.

The other moment that really bothered me was when John Doe is in the garage and finds the friend dead and of course all of a sudden Diana appears out of thin air at that exact moment. She was just looking for him at the house the scene before and John Doe drove over to the garage, how did she all of sudden appear there other than it was needed for a predictable twist?

I didn't think the acting was bad, just not a well executed story and the pacing is certainly slow.
