About
If you enjoy contained thrillers set in one location and don’t mind a divisive, twist-heavy finish, this may work for you; Not for you if you hate cheesy writing, weak acting, or predictable turns like some found in Misconduct.
Pros: tense setup; fast, easy watch; some late surprises | Cons: cheesy dialogue; uneven acting; generic premise
