the oracle

The acting didn't click and seemed half-hearted in parts. The movie built up the murderer, but the scene where SMG learned his identity was anti-climatic, as were the scenes where he was chasing her. I felt like I was supposed to feel connected to the characters, but I just didn't; they didn't seem real enough for me to empathize with them. I didn't mind the way all the loose ends were tied up in the last few minutes of the movie - in fact, I liked the way the accident explained why SMG had seen the accident earlier and why those things were happening to her - but the "I'll come back to you some day" line (or whatever it was exactly - I don't remember it verbatim) was a bit much for me. As I mentioned earlier, I got the impression from the trailer that this was a very scary movie, but I wasn't scared at all while watching the movie, not even the eensiest bit. That disappoints me greatly.
