I was expecting something thrilling and mysterious, but somehow I ended up laughing with WTF remarks more. I cannot utter my disappointment with the massive loopholes in the story line. Having said that I have never watch the original movie before nor going to comment how they have to stick with the initial plot.

Just mainly reviewing this movie by itself, there are too many cliches coincidence that save the day, eg motorcycle that is lying in aisle that has no one or dog that only bites once the attacker safely attacked (cant you attacked from the very beginning?), or even I dont understand why the sister need to take the lil brother away from the start if he was that popular.

The ending is far the worse to be honest. So many wtf moments where they are trying to make it sounds touching but plainly stupid in my opinion. When you can attack the bad person why would you hit him only once and then trying to pick up wounded blind woman to a locked door (shouldnt you hit him couple more times, open the door then pick up the wounded blind lady?) The sequence doesnt make any sense to me at all. And when the male lead hitting the bad person, whats the point of asking the blind lady to wake up and keep on getting hit by the attacker? What could have the blind lady do? In real life, if some psycho is attacking these 2, they would have been dead by now, not all the touching bullshit. The worse one for me is how the bad person actually knocked down with a wood ukulele/small guitar without even destroying the ukulele.

Honestly i was expecting so much on this movie with the high ratings and review but I am utterly disappointed. It would have been a nice movie if they sharpen the stories a bit to make it more realistic? The touching parts drag the story line so much to the hill. I actually rated it to 5 because it could have been a nice movie with good meaning eg meeting stranger is dangerous etc but the unrealistic loopholes just kill it.
