This film started out pretty good but the ending is so
jerky & contrived they this had to have a happy ending
where everyone will go on with thire life I mean all the
other plot twist were great & suspenful but the ending
leaves way to much to be desired and for a teen film this
was pretty good performances especially the girl Lena
whatever her last name was anyway I wanted this film to be
so good but it's only OK.

A few months ago, when I condemned the obscene movie "Apt
Pupil", I said that I would be boycotting the X-Men movie
because of that repugnant crime that Bryan Singer and his
2nd unit directors committed
behind the scenes on the set of Apt Pupil(and if I'm smart,
I'll also boycott movies involving Errol Flynn, Roman
Polanski and O.J Simpson). And now, after
seeing this preposterous junk, I think I'll be boycotting
the X-Men movie because of Marsden as well. His performance
was particularly atrocious, and even if his "character" was
meant to be unlikable, it made little difference(and if
he's so wretched in this clinker, who knows what his acting
will be like in the X-Men movie? Shudder...). And the whole
story was perfectly awful(don't ask why I bothered seeing
it, an episode of CHiPs on TV would have been more
entertaining). As an example of how nonsensical the
proceedings here are, when Headey gets upset at Marsden for
how uncaring he acts when Jackson gets arrested for
supposed date rape, she has sex with him on the kitchen
table! Stupid. It's also another example of how some recent
movies have been showing characters being rewarded when
they don't deserve it. The movie's flip treatment of rape
is also very offensive, much more than what the New York
Post may have thought. Let me also point out that
practically all of the script's "surprises" can be
outguessed very easily. Like Body Shots, this film is also
an insult to GenXers, and it should be avoided at all
costs, escpecially by women. (P.S: Speaking of Bryan
Singer, I have quite an idea on how to attack him for those
sins he committed when making Apt Pupil. If so, then
wait'll you see it, the way I'm going to condemn him next
month is going to be very interesting.)
