Featured review
What else can really be said? The initial premise is interesting and it certainly leaves you wondering what could possibly happen next- especially with a man who just meanders and talks and doesn't directly "threaten". A Very solid first half.
But after the over halfway-ish point of the movie, it felt like it was trying to be smarter than it was with the most generic of truths, and sudden Sherlock Holmes levels of noticing (she noticed, but didn't tell her friend????).
The ending ultimately sours the entire film. Honestly, anything would have been better than the ending we got.
6/10, More than Decent.
