					<description><![CDATA[I liked the movie. I was annoyed with the Zeke twist as I pegged his partner for the culprit and thought I was really clever until that point. The only thing I didn&#039;t believe is that Zeke would kill his own brother over a bribe when it appears that nobody, including Andy, didn&#039;t even know he had a son. And he didn&#039;t raise this kid....would you really plot something so elaborate for a kid he let some other man raise. You&#039;d be hurt yes, but multiple murders? And if he really cares about kids, would he really kill his niece&#039;s father and let her grow up without her dad? Dunno...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The red herring tattoo was well done, but...

OK, so Zeke &#038; Steph&#039;s plan all along was to setup Ed, Andy, Chris and the Judge to be killed in revenge for Ed Jr, and apparently to escape with the money.  Zeke killed Ed, the Judge killed Chris, Andy killed the Judge, and Zeke killed Andy.

How did Steph get in the bank without any of the other non-Zeke characters knowing?  I suppose Zeke let her in after the Judge left and before Ed arrives?

Why was Ed&#039;s car at the bank to stuff him into and then bury, if Chris was driving the getaway car for them?  

Apparently, the heavy money bag was taken in Ed&#039;s car too, and removed before burying (another car waiting at the car burial site?)

What was the purpose (in Zeke &#038; Steph&#039;s plan) for giving the money to the Judge to hold?  How could they know that Andy would kill the Judge (one of their targets) or that he would successfully retrieve the money (so that they could in turn retrieve it from Andy at the end)?

How could Steph know that the Judge would kill Chris?  What did she have in mind with her tease if the Judge had not showed up and taken Chris&#039; gun and then shot him in a panic?

Are Zeke and Steph going to run away with the money?  Wouldn&#039;t the disappearance of the sheriff cause some more investigation?  Like the blood on the bank floor not matching Zeke (and not being enough to account for Zeke shooting Ed in the head), Zeke&#039;s false claim to being allergic to painkiller but showing no sign of pain at being shot, no bullet was removed, Zeke supposedly fired at the fleeing car but missed and then lie down again exactly in the blood pool, an automatic weapon was used at a hotel room where Chris died but which was rented by Steph, etc.  

This many people being killed (including a judge and senate candidate) would involve a more serious investigation, and there were too many loose ends.  So maybe they planned to escape.  Zeke and Steph suddenly being missing would raise questions.

Not quite as tightly plotted as one might hope, but an interesting way to string out the audience via reverse presentation.]]></description>

How  could the movie end with Andy hiding in the basement when he was killed earlier?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good concept. Good execution. The comedic parts kinda creeped me out. Martha urging Zeke to start his own family felt like a clue, I just didn&#039;t catch it. Nice clean &#038; closed story. 

Next please.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://taylorholmes.com/2017/06/13/netflix-shimmer-lake-review-and-explanation/#comment-904905&quot;&gt;Piper&lt;/a&gt;.

Oh I totally think Stef was playing Andy. Completely. Andy was one of the people she hated for killing her son. I just assumed that was clear. 

Stef does make mention of the fact that Zeke said they&#039;d do whatever you wanted. Meaning, that Stef could string all three along and get them to go along with the bank robbery scene. And Andy was also included in that trio. She played him intentionally. Notice the shower scene with Chris. She was throwing him off on purpose, just like she did to Andy.  

(as for the edit, I can&#039;t find that one.)]]></description>

Hahahah! Yes. That makes me so happy it&#039;s there. At least once. 

So fantastic!]]></description>
