About
Choose this if you want a dark, intense revenge/psychological thriller with a haunted lead and gripping tension; Not for you if you need a clear, slow-paced story with lots of dialogue, or if you prefer straightforward thrillers like U Turn or A Most Violent Year.
Pros: intense Phoenix performance; bleak tension; memorable atmosphere | Cons: not for everyone; sparse dialogue; pacing can drag
