About
Not for you if you want a consistently airtight thriller throughout, or if you dislike films where the late story shifts tone; it may appeal if you like claustrophobic suspense like Panic Room or Spiral Staircase.
Pros: edge-of-your-seat suspense; tense building chase; dark humor moments | Cons: confusing late plot; tension deflated; ending disappoints some
