10 Movie Reveals You Can Spot Early (If You Really Look)

The Reveal

The party responsible for Margot's (Michelle La) disappearance is actually Robert Vick (Steven Michael Eich), the son of Detective Rosemary Vick (Debra Messing).

How To Spot It Early

Shortly after Margot's disappearance, her father David (John Cho) searches through his late wife's computer, specifically her address book, looking for clues.

One of the first entries he fleetingly glances at is for one of Margot's classmates, "Robbie Abolt," with the notes field explaining that he has a parent in the police, his parents are divorced, and he has a crush on Margot.

There is admittedly some clever deception at play here - Robert is referred to by his nickname "Robbie" and his surname is that of his father, "Abolt," while his mother now goes by her maiden name of Vick. Still, the film plays fair enough to mention the divorce in the address book.

But the two clues really worth paying attention to are his crush on Margot, which is an immediate attention-grabber given that it's noted in the book at all, and the fact that one of his parents is a cop.

Though you'd certainly need impressive powers of deduction to figure this one out right away, it nevertheless gives attentive viewers the inside track on unraveling the central mystery.
