20th January 2008

the crime was wasting over an hour and a half of what I at least consider to be precious time. The verdict was a uninamous one;

Guility!

Woeful. The cast give you such high hopes but it just never gets going. It scuttles along with no real purpose overplaying its 'look at us, how clever are we with all these twists' hand and all along anyone with half a brain can see the ending coming an absolute mile away.

I won't say anymore as I don't want to give anything away but it was the least shocking ending I have ever seen in my life and how it gets the reputation it has based mainly on said finale is truly beyond me.
