Viewing Notes

The twistiest, turniest thriller I think I’ve ever seen. Might’ve overstayed its welcome by about 30 minutes for American audiences but I think I and the other guy in the theater enjoyed it just fine. Really well done with a great score and cinematography in a limited setting that really focuses in on the various characters at play.

I’m sure it’d be more meaningful if I knew more of the actual history but there’s enough there to get the gist of it.
