The shifts in story don't occur by shifts in character. Everything is happenstance and flacid. I figure the only way this movie got made was because Vanessa Hudgens's agent needed a grown-up part for her, in which she smokes meth, shows her underwear, and talks like a street person. Cage follows her into the seedy underbelly of somewhere-Alaska, where somehow nobody has a northern accent. It reminds me a bit of 8mm when Joaquin Phoenix takes him to all the underground, hardcore porn venders.
This movie may have been gripping for anyone fool enough not to figure out how it was going to end. And in the credits, I got to see pictures of all of Hansen's victims, as if anyone would want to be remembered especially for being raped and murdered. What an honor. But let us be warned about visiting creepy guys in especially isolated places for sexual favors.
