A murderer gets trapped in an elevator at the crime scene.

2/4 (Indifferent).

He's doomed from the beginning of the movie, which is probably something people who like this sort of movie think is poetic or existentially deep. It's bad storytelling. It's still an interesting enough movie that it might have been okay, if the ending weren't extra terrible even apart from the storytelling problem. ( )
