Audience Member Too bad I can't get back the time I wasted watching this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A murder, a mysterious killer, mind manipulation... It is interesting... Sakis is nothing special... Richard... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Der Film ist eigentlich okay und auch durchaus mitreißend, aber das Ende hat mich zu sehr schockiert, als dass ich dem Film mehr als 3 Sterne geben könnte. Wahrscheinlich werde ich ihn aber noch einmal gucken und vielleicht vertrage ich ihn dann besser. Die Besetzung ist jedenfalls toll. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 5 stars of me people. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Der Film ist eigentlich okay und auch durchaus mitreißend, aber das Ende hat mich zu sehr schockiert, als dass ich dem Film mehr als 3 Sterne geben könnte.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The characters in the film are not likable or relative, even though the performances are fine. The message of the film is f*cked up and the filmmakers try to save the story with the ending, but even the ending puts down the overall story and the main characters. The story would have been a lot better, as to the characters, if a few things were changed. For instance, the killer and the father relationship could have been portrayed as a friendship throughout the film until the end, keeping the actions of the killer separate from the father's role in the film. Furthermore, the film could have focused primarily on the father and daughter coping with the loss of the mom. The film tried to do this, but the father and daughter were too removed from one another and the nanny didn't help in that respect. Using the killer as a friend of the father trying to help sell the house could of worked too. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
