I've been getting some hilarious YouTube ads that just say "YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER, I GAVE YOU ALL THE CLUES" in an overly dramatic voice

I swear those have been every single ad I've gotten in the past three weeks. I'm just glad this movie's out so I don't have to hear that stupid voice again.

What a mess. 

 

By Alfredson’s estimates, around 10-15% of the movie’s screenplay was not filmed during production

So this movie was a laugh...as in we laughed through most of it in disbelief. Someone fell asleep too. Just a disjointed mess of a movie. Half the scenes should've been in a different movie and there was only one scene that felt like a thriller. It had poor music choices and wasted good actors. Thank God for moviepass.

God, I want to get the full story of the making of this toxic wastedump of a movie. It will be much more fun then the movie itself.

I didn't even thought it was funny bad (except for the Val Kilmer scenes). It was a decent crime thriller like many others with a couple of beautifully shot scenes. The editing was a mess tho. Clearly a lot of problems and a lack of scenes to use in the montage propel them to use some scenes to cover some holes.

Literally none of this is as funny as they make it sound besides everything involving Val Kilmer. None. Zero. Maybe the point 8 and that is it.

Big chance at dominating the Razzies bad?

It’s like an alternate universe where the iPad doesn’t exist.

The part I found really odd is when Harry goes home and the “exterminator” is dancing around.

That was the killer, not the other dude.

They really wanted to sell that weird ass thing polices use nowadays apparently?

Just wondering for those who have seen it.

Maybe because it has a big star and they go for those instead of legit bad movies.

The police tablet had more character development then any of the human characters. 

[Boxofficerules]

That police tablet was ridiculous! "Let's hide this big, easy to see tablet in a room to secretly record someone even though a small easy to hide mobile phone could do the same thing"

I guess it would have made more sense in the book as that came out in 2007 and I don't think you could record that much on phones back then.

The whole police tablet thing was... so unnecessary. Such a weird thing to see in a movie.

Not to mention they where bigger and clunkier than actual tablets. But yeah, they just weren't needed, any part they where used could have been replaced with a regular tablet or a mobile phone.

It really seemed like forced product placement lmao.

[DeeCee]

I suspect there was a version of the movie where the tablet was the killer. Sadly it was lost on the editing room floor. 

 

(I hope this isn’t to much of a spoiler. Ruling out the tablet as the killer.)
