I think the director needs the movie version of Anne Rice's editor (before Rice got rid of hers, her work was good trash instead of 'is it over already'?). That scene where Nicolas Cage got handcuffed to a bed (mmmnnnnn...) should have been in the last 45 minutes of the film. That was the scene where Tom Welles should have successfully killed all the bad guys (with the bad guys shooting at each other first over the money). with Machine being the last guy he confronts, in that warehouse (no need for Machine to escape and a dragass tracking scene) - demask, and kills. There was zero need for Tom to arrange to meet the old lady might later in the day, it doesn't take that long to commit suicide - he calls her right after he killed a bunch of people, shaken, delivers the horrible news, and then he arrives at her house, is told that she killed herself (so Tom has just killed a bunch of people, and caused a suicide within 1 hour of real time, minutes of film time), THEN he goes sobbing to his wife. Shortly after, show the letter scene (the scene where he tells the mother of the dead girl doesn't have to be shown) - the end.<br /><br />Re Steve M: Nic had to get out of town to go to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which has a big physical location where they keep all the files and pictures - I remember it referenced in a John Douglas book. As for the filing style difference, the same person who started the paper filing and kept them sorted by gender, probably wasn't the same guy who started the computer system. This kind of thing happens alot in offices. ..and the most updated thing might not be the most /upgraded thing/ because features get 'retired' because someone decides they are not needed anymore...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486647021928910059.post-40866321270182280882012-12-12T08:30:00.656-08:002012-12-12T08:30:00.656-08:0043 movies in and the number of hours wasted is onl...43 movies in and the number of hours wasted is only at 2?

Just when I thought it was finally ending and the pain would soon be over I realized I still had over 30 minutes to go. Ouch.<br /><br />Honestly, who writes this kind of script, who reads it and decides it would make a great movie, and who would agree to play a role in it? Oh yah, some guy that apparently wants to get paid to watch porn. Well, I think "some guy" did an okay job of portraying an average person caught up in a bad situation that he knows would never get justice in court so he's going to avenge the girl as if she were his own daughter. But first he needs permission.<br /><br />How about some non-porn holes. The missing persons database on the computer doesn't allow filtering by gender, but the old paper file systems that he finds her in is sorted. Placing a bug in the microphone end of a telephone handset transmits both ends of the conversation at equal volume and with nearly equal clarity. The old house at the end of the movie doesn't have a single squeaky stair, floorboard, or door. When he goes in to dispatch "Machine" he suddenly has a silencer and a pistol that is threaded to accept it even though he has no reason to have such a weapon and we never see him buy it.Steve Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01691715956208605416noreply@blogger.com
