5/10
A girly version of sherlock Holmes

Warning: Spoilers
This is an old school detective movies where crime investigations are based on deductions, clues, etc. There's no DNA, fingerprints, or other modern methods.

The main characters are four British women that used to be code breakers. They decided to investigate a serial murderer because they found the murderer left behind patterns that they can decode, just like breaking codes during the war.

It was an OK movie. Part of the story is over the top. Like when one woman pull out a math book to help figure out the killer's pattern, I thought that was kind of ridiculous. Fortunately she did not pull out a calculus book or used differential equations.

I was able to predict one murder in the movie just by thinking, if she goes to this person for help, wouldn't the serial killer also have guessed it? It is disappointing these supposedly smart women never thought about the possibility.

What is worse, the main character seems to enjoy putting herself in harm's way without thinking. Most people know when you are getting close to catching the killer, the killer may not sit still and may strike back. This thought never occurred to the main character.

It is also stupid these women set a trap to lure the killer and then lost track of the bait.

It is obvious the movie was written by not so intelligent writers. Overall it's a movie with an interesting beginning and a lame ending.
