Everything about how this movie looked and sounded was great. But the creators asked you to believe a lot of things that were sometimes a bit hard to believe.
Some of it was a leap but the story did push forward, hoping you'd stay with it which wasn't hard to do. The hate for this movie is undeserved, but there are flaws which maybe wouldn't have been difficult to fix. The big one is perhaps the story should've just begun in the lake house after the initial (and very good) opening.
My biggest issue with this story isn't even the glaring decisions but more often the desire to make everything obvious. There was nothing at al left to the imagination, in dialogue, or in the actual culprit when he is revealed, in disguise, fairly early on.
I wish they'd played with the other men that surround the mother as potential suspects.
