    After seeing the high percentage of people liking this and appreciating the acting of Joel Edgerton we watched it. What a big time let down. This movie was terrible.So slow moving and boring. Please don’t waste your time. I’d rather watch paint dry. No bueno !!

    Creepy and brooding - the excellent acting is bogged down by a plot that advances too slowly, and too predictably, toward a dark ending.

    Man I love Sean Harris. Excellent gloomy style and delivery from the whole cast, thoroughly enjoyed.

    Over-rated serial killer and crime drama is a little too slow for my taste.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    This was slow but engaging. A little tough to follow at first but the 2 leads make this worthwhile
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    Starts off slow but gets addicting onwards. The acting by both leads is really good.

    Stunning film. No other film in a long time had me as gripped and absorbed as this, even more so on the second watch. Truly visceral, but there's no denying you need to steel yourself for it. I particularly enjoyed the score, and the varying blends of tension and mood drifting throughout. Superb lead performances and a great example of a low budget/ big impact production.

    Brilliant, just brilliant. Edgy, disturbing, paced, enough with out too much being said… do yourself a favour. Plug in and shake yourself.

    Great acting and an enjoyable if very slowly developed story. The insidious undercurrent bubbling beneath the surface added a huge element of tension and jeopardy.
