About
If you enjoy tight, single-location thrillers that lean on pressure, mind games, and constant escalation, this may work for you; Not for you if you hate claustrophobic setups or need airtight logic—especially if you preferred Awake.
Pros: nonstop claustrophobic tension; committed lead performance; brisk, high-stakes setup | Cons: plot holes and questions; repetitive single-location feel; divisive ending
