Damaged tries to weave a suspenseful story, but it suffers from some gaping plot holes and predictable twists. The acting is decent, but the characters themselves are a little one-dimensional. The film's saving grace, however, is the ending. Leaving serial killer Dan Lawson still at large injects a genuine sense of unease. We're left with the chilling knowledge that this monster is still out there, and that possibility keeps the film from being a complete wash.
However, that single positive doesn't erase the rest of the movie's issues. Pacing drags at times, and the reveal of the culprit feels rushed. Overall, "Damaged" is a watchable thriller, but it's unlikely to leave a lasting impression. If you're looking for a genuinely suspenseful movie with a killer on the loose, you might want to keep searching.
