I rarely talking about movie's spoiler in my review, but this one is infuriating because it literally was up to the ending which just ruined it. What's sad is that they could've still made it work, but they just didn't. The plot hole is too big to ignore.
*** SPOILER ***
So it is revealed Roy (Crowe) actually was the killer. You kinda picked it up around mid point if you were paying attention. But here's why it is so infuriating. It makes no sense. If he was the killer, what does any of this has to do with the other 2 suspect in the end? His partner and Laura.
His partner could've simply told him the truth from the start and this would've ended. There was no reason for any of this role in the film.
Laura also had no reason for anything in the film because she did nothing illegal by exposing Roy's wife's infidelity. She was not legally liable for any of it since it was Roy acting out of murderous revenge. So why would she do any of this?
These 2 plot holes could've easily been repair with minor additional details, but writer just got lazy.
5/10.
