Come to help you time and again, this love triangle

There is a lot of controversy about the plot, but I just say a little personal opinion: it's
a bit like a love triangle between three men. Three characters: Lannie, Vince, Ruben.
1. Ruben loves Lenny very much, spiritually. So he invented the manuscript version of "Vince is the murderer" for Lanney (provided that Lanney also thinks Vince is the murderer). On the one hand, it can protect Lanny, and on the other hand, it can take revenge on the rival Vince. And it is because of the deep love that I hate very much, and then there is a follow-up plot and later story.
2. Vince Ailani, physically and mentally. Physically because he wanted to go to Lanny; mentally because he would rather be blackmailed by Ruben in order to protect his murderer, Lanny.
3. Lanny also loves Vince, spiritually. Although he didn't want to be taken on by Vince, he could write what Vince said at will, and it was not bad, indicating that he cares about Vince mentally. And the tears in his eyes when he looked at the little girl also showed that he was very sorry for Vince (thinking that Vince was murdering). But Vince didn't know this love.

They all seem to be "love", but there is actually a "no love" here, that is, this "no love" plays a decisive role.
4. Lanny doesn't love Ruben, not at all. Reuben was very depressed, and he realized that Lanni was actually Evans, so he had two hatreds because of one love. On the one hand, he killed the naive female college student and made Lanni Vince fall into mutual suspicion. The dilemma of covering up mutual self-blame eventually led to the dissolution, but after all he was love Lanni, but he didn't want to see the person he loved and the other person so happy, so he still made up the version of "Vince is the murderer" to protect Lan. Ni; on the other hand, he uses the tapes that are actually totally inexplicable to blackmail Vince to avenge his rival in love! Vince is forced to commit suicide in order to protect his beloved Lanny. . .

ok I still write too much. This movie bluffed people at first glance, and then it was full of loopholes, and then it was quite rigorous after thinking about it carefully.

ps: Some people may be wondering if Ruben wants them to break up, why not just ignore it and let the college girl go to toss and kill her. Don't forget, after all, he loves Lanney deeply, this is the basis. He would not let the girl tell the scandal and ruin Lenny. If he kills, he can achieve the three goals of dismantling them, protecting Lanny and making Lanny hate Vince. . . It is the work of masters.

    The time line in the film is very unnecessary, and I was in a mess at the end... The heroine is beautiful, but the acting is almost meaningless

    I don't know if it was Alison Lohman or the film itself that attracted me to watch it, but it wasn't brilliant. The sense of form was good, but it was a bit oppressive to the tension of the story.
