The final thirty minutes of the film was a non-stop laugh riot. Nevertheless, not ten minutes into the film, I, along with the others I was with, had successfully predicted the antagonist. The filmmakers thrown in a plethora of minor characters with undeveloped and unresolved story lines in an attempt to "throw off" the audience. The film's twist, one so ludicrous even the most die-hard Lohan films will giggle, is pulled directly from left field after a seemingly magical epiphany by the film's main character. Perhaps the scenes explaining the plot ended up on the cutting room floor in favor of some of the more grotesque and gratuitous gore scenes (of which there were plenty). The plot was extremely contrived and had enough holes to fill the Royal Albert Hall. I'm not opposed to a good cliché thriller movie, but at some point it becomes comical. This film takes every thriller movie cliché in the book and slathers it on ad nauseam.
I left the theater feeling confused and thankful that I hadn't actually paid to see it. I went into the theater with absolutely no idea what it would be about and with no preconceived notions. My friend won tickets to a pre release showing of this movie in Boston.
