This film was a recommendation for me to watch. I can tell you right off the critics and users from my point of view were very harsh. HOWEVER after I started watching I couldn’t stop. It intrigued me as to what it was about and I stayed with it to the end. I was not disappointed.

Let me say up front………this movie is not for the squeamish……be prepared for some intense scenes.

The best part of this movie is it makes it very easy to suspend belief. So you don't have to watch it and suddenly think oh man that wouldn't happen or gee that was wrong. It is highly stylized, the dialogue is great and there is a definite rhythm to it. The acting is great some of the back and forth between actors is actually very witty and very solid. It has twists and turns- none of them earth shattering but great nonetheless.

So if you are looking for something on Netflix that is a bit different than what has come out the last few years and can enjoy something for what it is- simple entertainment then give it a shot you'll probably also really like it.

And stay with it to the end!!!! you wont regret it and you’ll get a nice surprise by watching this seemingly "simple and quiet" movie!!
