Riddle (2013)
Major flaw

Warning: Spoilers
I thought the story and acting was pretty good. My major problem with it however was with the two boys who took Nathan for a ride. Considering that they got detention and at least one of them blamed Nathan for their punishment. So they take Nathan, but before that as Holly is in her cheer practice her friend tells her that the boys are with her brother on the bleechers. She looks and says it's alright and continues with her practice. So since she was responsible for her handicapped brother she should have gone over to see what was going on. Her job was to protect her brother.

So they take Nathan for a ride and while stopping at a gas station Nathan goes to the bathroom and when the two boys return Nathan has gone missing. Next it is three years later and Holly is at college. While working at a farmer's market she notices her brother's sneakers and follows the lead to the town of Riddle.

She bumps into her old high school friend Amber whose father is Riddle's sheriff. Anyway to cut a long story short I found it a) incomprehensible that the boys did not get punished for Nathan's disappearance, or at least it seems that way, and b) how easily Holly let's Amber and the two same boys team up to search for her brother. After all it was their fault in the first place that her brother went missing.

The rest of the movie and the story was pretty good, but for the reasons that I said the movie was ruined. Just to add an interesting point Elizabeth Harnois was 34 years old in the movie playing a teenager, and Diora Baird was 29 playing a teenager.
