Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
