Review of Tick Tock

Tick Tock (2000)
7/10
Should have stopped twisting earlier

Warning: Spoilers
Up to halfway through the movie I would have given it a 10. Interesting story, interesting twists, surprising elements (like killing someone naked).

But in the latter half, things fell apart. Some scenes were unbelievable, like a piece of cloth hanging out of the trunk. They wouldn't have noticed that when they stowed the body? And the cop would not have asked to see the trunk? Or the jealousy from seeing Carla with Travis - didn't she know that Carla would put out to get Travis involved in her scheme? Carla called him a good lay earlier. And didn't she know that Travis needed to be distracted at that point? The lesbian aspect hasn't been given enough emphasis to cause such a reaction. You'd think that a corpse in her trunk would be more important than an emotional reaction.

The end was as witty as it was stupid. Handcuffing her was a smart move by Travis, but what's stupid is that they were shown decomposed. Wouldn't the cops search a radius farther than how much they walked from the car? Wouldn't joggers have found them in the time it takes to rot so much? And most importantly, wouldn't she have used sticks, rocks, teeth or anything to sever his hand and free himself (the shovel was gone at that point)?

I'd still recommend the movie, but the ending is a bit chaotic and disappointing.
