Coulda Woulda Shoulda

The ingenuity and complexity of suspense in this film is refreshing, as is equally the plot. It has been a long time since a first-class, nail biting, on the edge of your seat, intelligent macabre suspense story and film on the scale of Silence of the Lambs and Se7en was made. Too bad the filmmakers chose to make a low-budget almost-but-not-quite-good money maker rather than create a low-budget classic-award-winning film. A wasted opportunity; the film plot has extraordinary potential instead, it is glued together with ridiculous scenes [like the prosecutor shaking hands with the convicted accomplice in the slaying of a mother and her child] and unintriguing cliché dialogue.
