Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

We've all seen too much CSI to buy into the final scene, but this one pulls you in right from the start, and keeps unfolding, both in plot and character development. Each turn provides just enough so that you're left contemplating: what would *I* do, and on both sides of the good vs evil equation. It's just too bad that the finish was so anticlimactic.After all of the effective tension building, and with the story poised for an interesting completion, the nicely crafted parts start to tumble to the floor. The story just runs out of steam. As the conclusion draws near, you get the impression that the writer was pressed for time. Maybe the script was due in the morning, and he was out of ideas. So we go from visceral opening scenes that are increasing engaging, building to a point were we are speculating on numerous possible avenues, (what would *I* do in this situation), to closing scenes that feel artificial, and finally campy.I recommend skipping the last 15 minutes. That way you'll be left with a more satisfying mystery.Incidentally, Brooke Anderson, (Laurie), reminded me a of a younger Jody Foster - or rather an older version of some of her teenage characters, back in the day. Watch her dialog delivery.
