# Waste of time. Don't waste yours
## The good bits:
* Filmed in Scotland, in Edinburgh;
* you get to hear the accent (and twinkle of Scots even).
## The so-so bits:
* Yet another gruesome-serial-killer yarn. The "twist" isn't new either.
* Experienced actors (not just the two internationally known ones on the movie poster) earning their pay.
## The bad: plot and direction
* a non-thrilling "thriller".
* There is no "aha moment", and even if you didn't the resolution coming miles away, it was lacking tension.
* and the actors seem not to have been directed much beyond saying their lines, so it's very uneven in acting quality.
* gruesome murder scenes and corpses without use. Some people may get their kicks from such things, but it provided no benefit to the story.
## The worst:
* uneven pacing
* overlong in many places, the story overstays its welcome
## summary:
Yet another waste of talent, money, time, and potential.
