My quick rating - 6,5/10. This is a really bold movie. To take a topic such as suicide, and attempt to really put a massive spin of anti-suicide into a movie about a serial killer is not an easy sell. And I will warn you, there are a couple of scenes involving suicide that are quite realistic and don't hold back in being graphic even if only momentarily. I went into this one blind, and I believe that you should as well. Even though there are a couple holes, if you put this aside, it really is quite well done. The story is very tight in what it wants to accomplish and has no problem traversing the twists it brings fourth without being unbelievable. The acting is quite good but the real star here is the director. Taking this subject head on and doing a really good job at creating a tense story and not being a PSA and gingerly skipping around your message is admirable. Doing so with a keen eye on the details makes the journey worth the final twist. Check it out if you haven't. I would love to say more, but that would ruin a bit of it.
