Review of 100 Feet

100 Feet (2008)
4/10
WAAAY too many "clang" moments in this film.
7 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
The "clang" moments were just scattered randomly throughout the film. The protagonist doesn't notice that she has half-a-dozen loose floorboards in her bedroom? (And we're talking big, really loose boards here...step on the end of one and it would pop you in the nose.) She's being stalked throughout the house, but she doesn't turn on any lights? (This is AFTER her power is turned on.) The Dept. of Corrections installs a high-tech electronic monitoring device for "house arrest", but it won't allow her go to the front door, the basement, or the attic? For absolutely no reason at all, she decides not to tell anybody about what's going on? (I mean, why not? She's already been charged and convicted for the slaying. They can't do it again, no matter how loopy she's acting or what she tells them. For the same reason, why is a cop sitting outside her house? He may have been the partner, but he can't do a thing other than throw her back in the slammer. Why bother?)

Anyway, it all adds up to a pretty weak story. The movie would have been better with less violence and more subtlety. And a better ending would have helped a lot.
