Anyone else think this movie derails in the second act?


First half is a fascinating, tense character study...

After the deed is done though, it turns into a melodramatic cover up movie.. found myself a little bored in the second half :/

He dies like 20 minutes before the end.

But I agree completely. The cover up was stupid and the ending was too. It was really well done prior to George dying too.

Posted on a newer topic the very same. Definitely a missed opportunity.

Yeah totally agree ! .... lost its way after the incident .... scriptwriters let the film down from that point on to the end :(
