Review

Watchable movie but not too interesting for my taste.

One man causes issues with multiple women. He have had relationship with them and they doesn't seem to get over him. One of them goes a little bit too far and wants to kill the man.

There is also couple of other people in the movie who have their own part of the story. Story is quite straightforward and the focus is kept well in the plot.

Characters have unique personalities and the story works. Irrational behaviour in people logic still feels annoying when they try to think what to do when one of them knows about terrorists plan but does not want to tell it to the police. Surely humans can behave that stupid in real life - and probably even would - but that kind of logic in movie is not my cup of tea at least on this genre of movies. In teen horror stupid logic in behaviour is acceptable since it is one factor what defines then genre tho.

In the end this was wathcable movie and not much bad to say, but still I didn't get much out of it. I don't think that it is movie to blame on it since all the elements are well done, maybe I am just the wrong audience for this.
