Final Draft (2007)
Hello, 911 - They stole 1 1/2 hours of my life
If you've watched any number of horror/suspense/thriller movies and have an IQ above 4, you will be able to predict the end of this poorly-written, cliché-ridden, moth-bitten rehash of "tortured writer" stories within the first 10 minutes. Poorly-sketched characters and non-sequitur scenes (adult bully punching teenager, baseball through window) to pad out to 90 minutes do not a good movie make.
Traumatic childhood clown experience - check.
Embarrassed publicly by high school bully - check.
Dead sibling you feel guilty about - check.
Failed marriage - check.
Protagonist's fate - take a guess...
Last (and possibly least):
Cliché "surprize" epilogue/"fade to black" scene - check.
This movie was obviously done on a shoestring budget, but they could have invested *some* part of that budget on a script.
The worst thing a "thriller" can be is boring. I only kept watching this snooze-fest because I thought: "This HAS to get better." To err is human...
I'd only recommend this movie to insomniacs who don't have access to a warm glass of milk.
