Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
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.
