I agree with everything you just said. Well, almost. I do now, I think. At first, the fact that
he got away with it so completely left me feeling cold and slightly angry.
But as I read more discussions of the movie, I realize that's totally the point, and it's exactly what should happen. I also loved that the ring, which was used as the marketing tool,
didn't mean what the audience would obviously assume it would mean. I mean, can you believe his luck?!
About the lack of character development, I think the characters weren't that fleshed out to begin with. It left me confused about their motivations.
I was confused about their motivations until I realized (I decided, anyway) that they were actually just that shallow and had simple motivations. The only one I remain uncertain about was the main guy, wondering how much of what happened he planned in advance, and how much was just taking advantage of opportunities that came along. It seemed to me that he'd have to be so empty, to be capable of feigning so many emotions for so long and never cracking and letting the real ones through. If any of the other characters had had complicated scheming minds of their own,they wouldn't all have trusted him so completely. None of them ever had a suspicion.
Oh, I think what we saw was what we got with Chris. He just floated along, reacting. He pretty much did whatever he felt would allow him to come out ahead.
I think you're right. I don't think he had any deep emotions or deep thoughts. He got lucky so many times, too, really, not just the once.
I loved the poor detective. He was brilliant, and right, and he'll never even know it.
Remarkably, this wasn't produced by Sci-Fi. But I'll bet they air it, bless them.
The movie tells how a reckless genetic engineering experiment goes horribly wrong and a flock of innocent sheep is transformed into a pack of blood-thirsty killers.

Just saw The Matador LOVED it. Hated the 'stache.
I just got back from seeing the big gay pirate movie #2! And I loved it!
How many people sat through the entire credits to see the extra scene?
I did poorly on quiz 1, got all but 14, 21, 23 and 30 on quiz 2. There's a third one?
I stayed until the end scene. I had to convince the woman I went with to do so. I had to tell her that the people on the internet said it was worth it.
