The movie is ok. Watchable.
The plot was ok. Kind of predictable but not poorly executed.
The problem for me was the ending. Why did all this happen in the first place, if it all amounted to nothing.

A chance meeting on the way to an airport turns into a more inauspucious encounter.
It seems as though many people either really like this or they really hated it. While I can understand a few complaints, I'm grouped with the likes.
This is a psychological thriller that held my interest well. If a film can do that, it's already doing well with me. The characters are not overly interesting at first glance but the dialogue and actor portrayal manages to build steady intrigue. The gloomy, cold atmosphere and apprehensive tone creates subtle suspense that drives the pace forward nicely.
It won't be to everyone's taste but if you like a slow, steady thriller this may fit you.

I was intrigued by the trailer and marked it in my watchlist. Lately so many movies have been turning out to be promising in trailers but a total dud when you are like just 20 minutes into it. This one turned out to be better than the trailer and actually made me sit tight and watch till the very last frame. It's not slow to call it a slow burn but the first 10 mins instil enough curiosity to want to watch further. And yes, the good element of what next continues to pay off every 10 mins as this girl who wouldn't stop talking frustrates the hell out of you as you root for the lead male character. Well, won't spoil anything for you. Just watch it with an open mind and that you are watching an awesomely high on quality a flick, that's all is what you should remember and it pays off awesomely! I loved it.
OK - so let's get this out of the way - if you're an MCU fan then this is not the film for you. Nothing blows up - there are no clever quips in the middle of battles - just a tour de force of acting by two excellent protagonists and some amazing dialogue and story-telling.
NOTHING blows up - there are no fast and furious cars.
If you like good writing, acting - good cinema - then this is worth your time.

Another unrealistic movie with a good plot but with scenes in contradiction with others. I agree that it was very difficult to turn this story into a movie, and in that way, it is successful. But the "strange" or irrelevant scenes spoils the plot too soon. I didn't watch the trailer and I was like: "no impossible", "why then this happens?" "Don't tell me all that for that?" "Oh no!" And then a final disappointment as many people here...
So I understand the harsh ratings and the good ratings. Hence 5.5 is fine average. I wanted to put 5 but I added 1 point because it made me dive in at some point and this is why I watch movies...
