Lots of holes
A plethora of plot holes mars this Sorkin thriller, with Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman and Bill Pullman desperately trying to make sense of what is going on.
Pullman and Kidman are a happily married couple with financial problems who invite elite surgeon Baldwin to rent their upstairs to earn some extra coin. Is this a Pacific Heights retread? No, but there are certainly some familiar beats.
There is a serial killer/rapist subplot that makes no sense and has no resolution. The twists are ludicrous, and the character motivations inexplicable. Nicole and Baldwin are terrific though, while Pullman expertly plays his usual simp husband act. 6/10.
