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.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
