Sadly Over-hyped
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
