It could've been a contender but... This taut 90 minute film sped along with good performances, great camera placement and scenic photography plus lots of twists & turns. It reminded you of a modern day Hitchcock with its classic theme: the "wronged man" (Or in this case, woman). Then 3/4 of the way in, it misses with a sequence of sloppy or half-revealed details that a good detective or mystery buff would pick up immediately. Spoiler alert: the "cheats" in the film involve unmatched body types, CCTV and a string of onyx pearls. It's a shame the movie got so sloppy so late in the action. It had the making of a superior whodunit thriller.
