Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Did you people see the same film I saw?
A Masterpiece!
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Boston homicide detective investigates the murder of his sister and pregnant girlfriend and police partner, and closes in on the killer on a small Massachusetts island. Wherever he goes, death follows, a bit like Jessica Fletcher in TV's Murder She Wrote. The main problem with the film is it doesn't spend enough time with the main character in the beginning before we are launched into overwrought plotting to get the viewer into a modicum of tension. So the pacing fails, and although it is absorbing as a whodunnit, with such crude methods of viciousness and so many plot turns it felt forced and hard to engage with. The film boasts a lovely setting, however, and all the technical elements are tick-boxed as a modern drama. All in all, the director just didn't show enough courage in the first act. "Who is this guy?" I found myself asking about the lead character, so sketchily had he been written.
Don't waste your time with this rubbish. How do films like this ever get made...just awful!
James (Eric Dane) dreams about his family playing on the beach of Nantucket in slow motion. He is known a cop in Boston. When is partner is murdered, James thinks it is connected to a family murder. He goes back to Nantucket in search of answers and sets off the fireworks as the body count continues.We get to know killer about half way through the film and the basic motive. We get more information in a flashback and later a twist is told to us in the church, not a big deal for us. Eric Dane wasn't charismatic in any way shape or form. In fact they joke about him smiling at the end. It is not that they didn't create characters, but the interesting ones keep getting killed off, sort of like "Walking Dead" but without zombies.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity
You know that feeling you get when you watch someone doing something foolish? That embarrassed-for-them feeling. Well. This movie does that. No character development of any depth. It was shot in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, yet, no location development. This movie had the production value of a made-for-TV movie.
