Freudian Excuse | |
| Knight Moves / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: A bit of a weird example in that the movie doesn't seem to come to a decision how it wants to play this. Apparently, the Serial Killer's descent into darkness is supposed to be witnessing his mother's violent suicide following his father's departure when he was just a boy. The problem is that the kid actor they got emoted so little in this scene that he just seems bored and/or fascinated by it, giving the impression that he was already an Enfant Terrible. He doesn't bring it up again until the climax as part of his Motive Rant for wanting revenge on the hero (who was very inadvertently responsible for the killer's parents both leaving him). However, the hero chews the killer out about his excuse and points out that it doesn't justify his horrible crimes, including attempting to kill the hero's young daughter. Then the female lead, who's also a psychiatrist-in-training, walks in and having recognized the killer as one of her boss's patients, tries to talk him out of it while sympathizing with him for his past (she fails and he gets shot to death by aforementioned hero), so supposedly we're meant to see him as a tragic villain after all? | |

| Knight Moves / int_c895f927 | comment |
Criminal Mind Games: The killer in the film is engaging in a particularly convoluted mind game with the cops and the chessmaster hero where he kills various women on different locations on the island, each one corresponding to a chess move if you map it out onto a chess board. | |
