Negative Positive
Title: Bad premise, but thought provoking
Review: Willing suspension of disbelief is pushed to the limits in this movie. One has to believe that the cops can't put all these deaths together. One has to believe that twenty years of clean living make up for being a sociopathic murderer. When the movie ended it took a minute for me to realize how much the movie was manipulating me, wanting me to sympathize or even just empathize with this character, just because he wanted to be good. Well, just unlock all the prison doors, 'cause those guys are going straight! Honest! And one last gripe - I don't understand the necessity of the graphic oral sex scene. Luckily I was watching with my husband, because if it had been anyone else, I would have been uncomfortable, and I'm no prude. I give it two stars instead of one because it has made me think about our justice system, and punishment in our society. Any movie that makes me consider issues has at least some value.
