The Square (2008)
6/10
Good...until the end...

Warning: Spoilers
The movie was so good, building up the suspense and leaving you sitting on the edge of your seat. The problem is...there were too many unexplained occurrences and unintelligible accents that I just couldn't deal with. I feel as though the Raymond's wife was built up as a potential suspect, which I think she could have been given the fact that she knew about her husbands affair but chose to say nothing. I honestly believed for a second that she was the blackmailer. But instead Ray's boss found the blackmailer...who happened to be a man I don't even remember being introduced in the movie? To add that, how did his boss and the only cop in town know about the blackmailing? Why did Ray bury Leonard if him dying on at the construction site was an accident? Why did Carla stand around during the gun fight at the end instead of grabbing her husband's gun? Nothing at the end made sense. And why did the poor dog have to die? Did no one even know or care that it was dead? Such a shame. Every death in this movie happened needlessly. Every person that died was innocent except Carla. If you like movies that build up perfectly but let you down in the end, then man....this is the perfect movie for you.
