I think the writer missed something...
6 July 2005
Did I miss something or did the writers? The last scene at the jail between Mike and his lawyer accentuates the need for a tangible, independent piece of evidence supporting Mike's version of the events. Mike indicates that he has thought of such evidence but the scene cuts before he reveals what it is. The last scene in the limo shows the villain destroying what appears to be that evidence; a nameplate used in her subterfuge. But was it the evidence Mike had in mind? What about the letter that she wrote to Mike ostensibly from his "wife" threatening to move to town to be near him, which motivated him to join the murder scheme? That would have supplied the needed piece of evidence and I did not notice any scene which showed her destroying it. Isn't this a significant writer's oversight? Or did the writer intentionally put it in and leave it hanging out there to cause viewers like myself to wonder if it would be the source of her undoing? Overall, an engrossing flick, featuring one of those classic characters you love to hate.
