Ok drama/suspense movie with a tiny bit of drama and a tiny bit of suspense. Two bored teens decide to commit the perfect murder and then plant clues to lead the police to someone else. Even though the premise is pretty good, the storyline of this film is very predictable and moves along slowly with very little or no suspense. I’m known in my family for closing my eyes during even remotely suspenseful moments but watched this one with eyes wide open; never a moment with even a little suspenseful tension. The parts of the teens (Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt) were actually portrayed fairly well but the police side of the equation (Sandra Bullock and Ben Chaplin) was barely believable. Little of the script supports the conclusions of the police as they try to solve the crime. We did watch this on TV so some of the R rated factors were edited but that wouldn’t have changed the storyline or acting. Just an Ok film. **
