Review of Before I Go to Sleep

If you are going to see this movie do NOT read this review - there are plot spoilers - come back afterwards and see if I was right. OK - so it was a reasonable enough thriller with a couple of suspenseful moments but a book or a film that has plot holes as big as the ones perpetrated here tend to make you gnash your teeth in irritation. Here are some of the worst: Christine had the "accident" when she was 26 (she's now 40). Where were her parents, aunts, brothers or sisters for the intervening 14 years? Would not one of them be visiting her on a regular basis at the nursing home? Ben puts her into a nursing home because he can't cope any longer and eventually divorces her but who is paying the nursing home bills? When she is taken out from the nursing home by the other "Ben" wouldn't the real Ben have wondered why he wasn't being asked to pay any longer? The wedding album and the photographs. The real Ben would have kept all those and they wouldn't have been available for the other Ben to doctor them. The doctor: he'd have to had Ben's consent to "treat" his wife. How did Christine make contact with him? How would she know her own phone number? Or address? The hotel where the first assault was made. Blood on the floor and in the corridor. A woman's body covered in blood found in a nearby lorry park. Er...didn't the police make a connection? The hotel staff might well have done. I could go on for many more paragraphs but you get my drift. You may want to wait until this one is at £3 on Tesco shelves.
