# Waste of time. Don't waste yours

## The good bits:

* Filmed in Scotland, in Edinburgh; * you get to hear the accent (and twinkle of Scots even).

## The so-so bits:

* Yet another gruesome-serial-killer yarn. The "twist" isn't new either. * Experienced actors (not just the two internationally known ones on the movie poster) earning their pay.

## The bad: plot and direction

* a non-thrilling "thriller". * There is no "aha moment", and even if you didn't the resolution coming miles away, it was lacking tension. * and the actors seem not to have been directed much beyond saying their lines, so it's very uneven in acting quality. * gruesome murder scenes and corpses without use. Some people may get their kicks from such things, but it provided no benefit to the story.

## The worst:

* uneven pacing * overlong in many places, the story overstays its welcome

## summary:

Yet another waste of talent, money, time, and potential.
