Another connect the dots movie....when will i ever learn?

this one got me extra frustrated because they didn't even attempt to make a real "twist". Instead they basically give you 4 options right off the bat and the entire two hours is spent wondering which one it is. That's it, that's the movie. No real development, no "playing detective" by the audience. A good movie allows the audience to think along with the main character and try to "solve" the puzzle. But this wasn't a puzzle to be solved. It was more like rolling the dice. I waited two hours to see that a "3" came up.

the trick for these movies is to find the character / fact that seems to have no other point in the movie. If you have to ask "why have we been introduced to this character" then this character is the one who's going to pull the heel turn. I caught the comment in the middle of the movie, and then had to sit through the rest of it.

The really annoying thing is that they threw in misinformation as a "twist". One character would do something that would lead the viewer to think "oh, it has to be him." well, of course that's too obvious. But, i would love to put the writer/director on the stand and cross him about some of this stuff he threw in. "well, if this guy didn't do it, then why did he do this". There's no answer to this question, at least not a reasonable one. And furthermore, after the real guy is discovered, the reason it is so shocking is b/c IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

It's just lazy writing and i feel so guilty for wasting my money on something that I KNEW was going to be stupid.
