Viewing Notes
I’ve meant to watch this so many times and finally pulled the trigger on it today. So glad I did because it’s an excellent thriller that, if made 20 years ago, would have launched the career of the director in the same way Blood Simple did the Coen Brothers’ careers.
I loved the slow, methodical pacing and the juxtaposition of a great dramatic score with periods of silence, which heightened the tension considerably.
I watched on Hulu Plus but I think this is available on Netflix Instant as well.
