The atmosphere of the movie is sensational, the characters are well developed, although soap-opera's at times. Unfortunately, the editing was poor, bordering on laughable. I am not a person who picks apart movie editing (this is the first time I've had to comment on it); however, there were a couple of obvious flaws that just jumped out at me, and I had to review them at reduced speed to confirm I just saw what I did.
(1) Kate is having a bath, and getting angry by herself. As she gets up and leaves the bath, the waist-strap from her underwear is fully visible. Her privates were in no danger of being exposed, it was just a poorly edited shot. If she is capable of all the carnage she causes, that's one thing; but taking a bath with your underwear on is just plain warped.
Also? (2) It was quite nice of her friend "Zoey" to help drag her own body out of the car, as Kate disposes of her. You can clearly see Zoey elevate her right leg, then firmly plant her right foot on the ground as she is being removed. She really was a friend after all.
Other than that, I did enjoy the movie. It was a challenging effort to portray a dark plot on the sun-washed California coast, with marina and sailboat in much of the film.
