Good but disturbing...

Warning: Spoilers
Not much I can say about this that hasn't already been said. What really struck me about this was the writer's insights on how people talk when they don't think others are listening. I found Ana's comments about Colin's character when he was off screen to be very believable.

The writer just had a good grasp for the realness of things in general. Maybe it's this age of reality TV we're living in...Maybe it's made us all a little more attuned to how things really play out. But, for instance, that scene with Colin's character and Ana's friend on the stairs right before he offs her. That was just spot on. She didn't over do it with seeming freaked out, but clearly she was unnerved by his sudden appearance on the scene. And that seems to be just the way a young women of her background would convey that.

Finally, the ending. Wow. I guess American audiences just aren't ready for something that realistic, because that's exactly what it was. There's no way she would've gotten away in that situation.

Overall, just a complete squirmfest. I liked it.
