Reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
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.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
