Are we supposed to believe that they didn't know how many victims they had?
The problem with the plot is that this should have been much clearer to the investigators than it was to us, the viewers. But they're totally lost and manipulated. Well, would you say, the evidence was tampered with. OK, but when? When did they find the time to go through the process of editing it all? And given the number of survivors, 3 are we told, the viewing of the footage should certainly not have been given so much importance.
Nothing in this film makes sense.
The beginning, with the frozen scene is catchy. But the development, until the bus crash, is long and boring. Then, it gets a bit funnier, a bit more entertaining, but we're not seeing much of what's occurring and everything gets so confused that our pleasure is spoiled. It gets more annoying than interesting.
The ending is ridiculous and disappointing, but it fits the rest of this nonsensical and unrealistic narrative. Although somewhat entertaining at times, to the extent I was alluding to and not more, the sum total is an indigestible mess.
I usually put a 5 on films that are entertaining with reservations. But in this case, these reservations are too strong. The entire thing is badly conceived and irritating in the end. I feel generous giving it a 4.
