This movie was made in 2003. And there is the use of cell phones in this movie. Why on earth then didn't the cops just do a DNA test to confirm if the blood in the trunk of Dave's car belonged to Katie or not? Who matches with blood types anymore?! <br /><br />2.

This morning I found a review elsewhere that said the ending ruined it. The camera moves slowly from one couple to the next--I saw a least damaged winner, a damaged survivor held up by a strong wife, and a damaged widow of a wrongly executed husband--three losers who were always going to be losersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-78254184245349088552008-12-03T12:13:00.000-05:002008-12-03T12:13:00.000-05:00After watching the ending of the movie with Penn's...After watching the ending of the movie with Penn's wife stating what she did at the end it sorta gave me the feeling that she perhaps had something to do with Katie being killed. Like that she was the one who enlightened that young boy who killed Katie about her husband being the one who was sending the money. Reason being, she got so torn up when Penn rushed out of the church and stated "You Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268358910749247092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-1105317799872574442005-01-09T19:43:00.000-05:002005-01-09T19:43:00.000-05:00Yeah, that felt tacked on, and seemed to start a w...Yeah, that felt tacked on, and seemed to start a whole new plot thread right when the film was finishing. <br /><br />And I agree about the acting, Kevin Bacon especially surprised me with how good he was. Considering the Oscars, I expected it from the others, but Bacon did a lot with a role that was mostly exposition.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483689490186954593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-1105152996960585422005-01-07T21:56:00.000-05:002005-01-07T21:56:00.000-05:00I don't have a problem with a film like this that ...I don't have a problem with a film like this that is "well made" in the classic sense. Much better than watching a film that is made merely for money. The acting is so great in this film that it's worth watching just for that.<br /><br />The ending seems a little heavy handed with Penn's wife's Lady Macbeth act coming out of left field. It could have been an interesting angle, but it wasn't set crossovermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252850174791385656noreply@blogger.com
