My Comment:
What can I say? This movie was really trying to get the suspense and the drama. Succeed on the drama, but failed on the suspense. Maybe the director tried to make the actors viewed as indescribable character, but I couldn't feel the empathy. And, i felt that the connection between the first story of the killing which led to Tom's brother, Richie, was a mess. I don't think that I'm going to recommend this movie to others.
