Viewing Notes

The first scene in this film is amazingly well shot and really builds up some tension, setting the scene for everything that comes after. Unfortunately, everything that comes after isn’t nearly as interesting. In particular the final third of the film just kind of drags and feels lost.

I feel like I missed the message on this one.
