Cheesecloth shirt sewn with silk thread: Horrible plot stitched with good cast
12 March 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I like Timothy Hutton and the casting was good, especially David Kelly. I started out digging the intro scenes rapidly bringing on the mystery. It was a little derivative, but the plot rapidly started to fall apart. I'm not going to give a direct spoiler, but I am going to observe that if you want a (hungry, always hungry) author to write something, rather than resort to intricate deadly violent methods, all you have to do is tell the author what you want and PAY HIM! The plot holes were so many and so deep that the main characters were calling attention to them as a plot device! So maybe the movie is worth watching as an example of how well people can put nonsense together and make it appealing.

My theory? The writer/ producers were having too much fun in Mallorca to read their own script.
