What an AWFUL movie! BAd writing and acting

From what I seen....that is who her character is!!!!!! Maybe paying attention to her background might be a start people! She had just gotten out of a long term relationship which she felt she was bound to, she is obviously vulnerable and even a little naive...does this not click in the head that maybe she's used to acting this way??

For real---the main characters act like zombies (except for Tome Berenger's character)there was no feeling in their lines at all---in fact, the movie really didn't make you connect with them at all---you didn't feel jack about them. And,yeah, her character's reactions to things didn't make much sense,either----and the ending was stupid as hell. And then she's just sitting watching all the stuff he taped on her, and acts like it's no big damn deal? I was like, WTF!? No normal person would even act like this. No wonder this flick flopped--it just wasn't that good, which is a shame because it had what could have been a better and far more gripping thriller, but I just wasn't feeling it.

From my reading on it, Sliver is seems to be one of those movies that started out with a great concept and the original script was likely excellent. It appears Sliver ran into creative trouble likely through rewrites and became more troubled when one of the main cuts scored very low. Thus forcing a new ending and changing around allot of the plot elements.

Originally, Zeke kills the neighbor at the beginning; it was said because he was coming close to discovering Zeke’s voyeurism. Carly knows that Jack killed Vida Warren and knows he is a con man. Before Carly can see the tape of Zeke being the killer he pulls her away, although in the ending sequence she reveals she knows it was him and they both “drive into the volcano ash” with a cut back to Zeke’s lair and snow fuzz on all the monitors. Implying that everything is over.

This in itself sounds more interesting.

In the original Jack discovers Zeke’s ways but is playing it careful as he (Zeke)knows of Jack’s con man like ways and he did kill Naomi Singer. Jack and Zeke both have dirt on one another. Jack can go to the police with Zeke’s information, then Zeke can turnover him killing Naomi Singer…. The current version has Zeke saying “I have not had time to look” but in the original cut this was likely a lie. Once Jack is going to be charged with Vida Warren’s murder he begins opening his mouth about Zeke slowly to Carly (all cut from the final cut..Remember Jack liked to play games) but Carly already knows.

The removeal of these events almsot makes when Jack is hiding out in Carl'y apartment more confusing. "He is very very sick" but we never really know how Jack knows this. Zeke liked playing games to similar to Jack, he used the camera to get an advantage over woman he wanted to seduce.

Longer story short there is a rich narrative underneath of what we ended up seeing.

Could have been worse...
