Viewing Notes

Shot largely in handheld closeups that give the film a tense, claustrophobic feel (that’s a good thing for this movie) and left we wrung out at the end. Great performances by Penn and Sheridan. Mike Tyson also shows up in a small part as the EMT’s commanding officer and isn’t bad. Also, Kali Reis from TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY has a small but significant supporting role.
