I decided to give this film a chance in spite of scathing reviews. Unfortunately, they were right to insult this film because it was too long, not to mention snooze-inducing. Even though I thought the actors did a pretty good job in their roles, the main problem was the storytelling. It could've been something really good if the film didn't meander too much. I thought the scenes where the main detective visits the crime scene was a bit too cliche and redundant. He must've visited that place five times or so without really getting anything from it other than guesses. I'm usually okay with films that don't provide exact answers like "Zodiac" because they were done well. This one isn't. It's a waste of an effort; other than to make money, I don't see why the studios released this film to the public. Can't they tell a bad movie from a good one? Scratch that--can't they tell an interesting movie from a boring one? Instead of this, there are independent films out there that are worth the studios' support.
