Review of 2:13 (2009) by Amy R — 29 Sep 2012
Willfully derivative of Silence of the Lambs, Seven, etc., the main selling point of this movie is how gleefully it immerses itself in every silly, exploitative hollywood cliche about psychoanalysis and psychopathy.
Every killer has a trauma in his past (involving his mother, natch); every shrink sees the Truth of your soul after one revelatory conversation; hypnosis is easy, quick, and perfectly revealing; sexual violence is the inevitable result of castration anxiety.
.. Ridiculous but thoroughly entertaining, though I could have done with less torture porn.
