Reviews
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
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.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
