george sluizer of the vanishing fame ( he make both the haunting european original and the hollywood remake ) direct crimetime . he shouldn not really be blame for this confused and poor movie because all the problem lie in brendan somers script . it ill focus and lazily write . for instance the killer hang around a nightclub waiting to pick up a victim and any victim and start talk to a teenage girl . cut to the next scene where she tell the villain i have tell you everything about myself and tell me about your life . unfortunately the girl have tell the baddie her life story off screen and be a terrible example of the screenwriter not be able to bring a character to life through dialogue . i know for a fact how bloody difficult this be but for a screenplay that be produce the writer should have try hard it difficult to explain the message of the film . at some point it feel like it try to be a british natural born killer satarising the medium voyeurism with crime ( perhaps it even influence the infamous video game manhunt ) but the script isn not witty enough to carry this off . when you have get a sex scene that doesn not progress the plot or character or hint of subtext you know you have get a badly write screenplay and crimetime be a badly write screenplay .
