About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tight, claustrophobic kidnapping thriller built on mind games and constant surprises; Not for you if you dislike nudity, harsh themes, or twist-heavy plotting like Eric.
Pros: tense three-person setup; twisty cat-and-mouse; strong performances | Cons: implausible plot turns; repetitive single location; nudity and disturbing moments
