Notes et avis

I didn't check to see how long this movie actually lasted, but for me it was less than 10 minutes. I don't know how they could call it mystery and suspense, it was more like dull and get to the point already. Which I never really did. Fast forward to each quarter of the film and you'll be much happier for not wasting time to get to the dumb ending. Ho Hum...

He literally gets off work and spends the rest of the movie(over an hour) driving and making phone calls. Im not sure how you go from Batman to this. And when i say drive i mean just a normal drive down the interstate to grandmas house not squealing tires and a chase scene.

Tense, understated, emotional, and yet with zero action. Just a guy driving and talking on the phone. But the depth of character revelation, the attention to detail, the plausible reality of the story... unbelievable. Great movie, and what makes it so great is both the story, and Tom Hardy's acting. To all the people who gave this movie a low rating: I'm sorry you can't appreciate quality. Go back to the slam-your-face-adrenaline-rush movies like Fast and Furious. Don't bother with emotion-tugging real-life drama movies like this one.
