Wonderful Movie
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
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.
