The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

What would happen if the movie was only just two min more long? Just wanted to what happens when he came back. It's really disappointing.

I love Bryan Cranston and Jennifer Garner but this movie needed to be cut down by at least 20 minutes. And after patiently waiting for the ending - it was so lazy. Come on writers - we deserved more.

A movie that drew me in, great internal dialogue, brilliant performance by Bryan Cranston, a believable plot - a guy cracks up and makes the ludicrous decision to live in his own garage's attic and spy on his family.Wakefield is a devious character and not very likable but Cranston's riveting performance engages the viewer from the beginning until about 10 minutes from the end when the plot falls apart.An impossible ending, contempt for the viewer writ large.I give it a 5/10 for Cranston's stellar performance but what on earth were the writers thinking?
