Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime fans and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. Fans of Shadow of a Doubt should feel right at home.
The mood
Scary, gritty.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 40 min.

  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
