6/10
Interesting but shallow and ultimately hollow

How did the police can identify a suspect in 4 hours?

Why were the clothes that Lise was wearing at the party and the day after the party not central to the investigation? Why would any murderer not leave any bloody footprints after such a vicious crime?

Surely the police have zero case at all against Lise if they discover that her clothes are entirely blood free, or the police have no doubt at all if her clothes are spattered with blood - and yet blood-spattered clothes or the lack of them were not mentioned once in the movie.

Towards the end of the film, with time running out, I had a terrible feeling there was not going to be an ending. Then the credits rolled, and the wife went ballistic.

There is a crowd that will love the ambiguity at the end of this, but the ambiguity wasn't earned. In the real world, there would be no room for ambiguity in a case like this, the clothes and footprints would be enough to establish guilt or innocence.

Scoring it a 6 because of the acting and the early potential of the film. But it's a dud in my opinion.
