Good concept, poorly executed.
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.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
