At the beginning of the movie, I was struggling to recall where I have seen this pretty face before. It wasn't until a third had passed, I finally got it. Gone girl. So I figured that was where the sinister feeling came from. But I didn't expect the twist was going to emerge so early.
Was Maranda sending letters to him in prison??? Dubious behavior. "You win" was written on the back of the envelope. William, are you getting your hope up again soon after you raped her? OMG, she came to visit in an open back dress. A wicked trap, no doubt about that.
Was that about 50mins into the movie? For the rest of the time, I was just counting minutes and yawning. I repeated "kill him, kill him, just do it..." for a thousand times silently. There was nothing surprising when he was drugged just like the pitiful dog. Of course, she wanted to revenge. Of course, he being a minor scumbag had no chance to escape her deadly and jerking claws. But, kill someone released on parole just like that? Wasn't he supposed to send weekly reports to authorities? Hadn't anyone seen him working on her porch? Her dad surely did. OK, a father wouldn't rat out his little girl. But didn't she know that William went to the local store for paints? When her dad was venting at her , he was waving the piece of shade guide. There was no way she would miss that. Nevertheless, the fire of revenge was scorching and she was the ultimate predator. If no one else cared about the plot holes, why should she do?
The performance was OK. I think the biggest disappointment was that the twist was exposed too early–like I said above. Before anything else, the character of Maranda was too similar to the one in Gone girl. This overlap alone could give away the biggest twist of the movie easily to anyone who recognized her and had some imagination. The ending was also not thought through. She was basically asking for trouble by killing William like that. But, well, that is just typical for these kind of movies. Once the twist is revealed, the class will be over. But Gone girl at least combined a variety of elements to keep audience excited. The plot of this movie, on the other hand, was just very linear.
