The little things....how the fuck does someone whose job is a repairman but his refrigerator doesn't work
NO SPOILERS NO SPOILERS
A little BORING
PRAISE: This is definitely one of those films in which the cast uplifts the stiffness and dwelling script.The cast including Denzel Washington,Rami Malek and Jared Leto do a fine job in this film about Deputy Sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon who joins forces with Sgt. Jim Baxter to search for a serial killer who's terrorizing Los Angeles.
The story drew me in with interesting turns and characters.I was especially curious about Deke portrayed by Washington his hesitation and ties to certain characters and a serial killer case held my interest. Albert Sparma portrayed by Leto was so strange and creepy he was actually amusing. There was a haunting feel that surrounded the film which I liked.
There was great tension between certain characters that evolves over the course of the film.
PROBLEMS: The pacing really tested my patience. I think if I had not had an ice cold drink in my hand I would have fallen asleep.
Something occurs with a couple of characters towards the end of the film that was an absolute head scratcher and I couldn't believe one of the characters was allowing it to happen to himself.
I was dissatisfied with the conclusion because the film had been building towards something great or at least had the potential of doing so only to end up with a basic answer to everything.
Someone said on Twitter that this would have worked better as a few episodes Of True Detective and i agree
Scale of 1-10 a 7

Saw it....it was meh
damn it.
Yeah, I know exactly what part they are referring to. They should have gone about that a different way.
rami getting in the car with Jared
Well he had to do that cause the movie had to happen. However, he could have made a fuss about being safe and checking the car and patting down etc.
Agree.
This was a sore point for me in the movie.
"There were times when he was digging and he had his back to a guy that he thinks is a serial killer. No way I believe that he gets in a car w this guy. I don’t care the circumstance."
There were many little things
"Not only the repair shops, but the second repair shop
The contents of the refrigerator that weren’t spoiled and the beer.
The observing of the crime from the other building
The detective seemed to overlook things
The roast beef shop he went into"

Fuck you Denzel.
Was this supposed to be a SE7EN remake? So many plot holes and the end was so much like 7 and stupid I couldn't even enjoy it.
If you and I are thinking of the same thing, This is what ruined the film for me. Both of the detective characters were supposed to be experienced cops and they both did really dumb things as part of trying to solve the case. Especially Rami Malek's character. No cop would ever do what he did unless they were completely deranged.
I think they probably shot a different ending and then realized this is too much like SeVen and ended up with that BS ending.
