This film is a very good example of a movie that slowly gives information to you. This technique is extremely good as it intrigues the watcher and makes them want to know more about the matter. However, at times this film gives you too much information at once, sometimes too quickly. That is what makes it too confusing.
My favourite bit is when they trap the criminal then he is really surprised and tries to get out but he can't as there is another investigator standing right by the front of the house. I really enjoyed this bit as it was quite humorous and unexpected.
A way I think they could have improved this film would have been making it longer when they were trying to put all the clues together. I think that this would have made it brilliant and much easier to understand for everyone who is watching.
