Ratings and reviews

Intriguing but slow-paced. Found myself easily distracted but Lawrence plays her part well. Scenes of violence are brutal, but this isnt the thriller I was hoping for.

Disappointing. Felt like a low budget movie, albeit with a few high profile actors, who even they couldn't salvage it. Sorry, it's a miss.

Yet another weird, incredibly boring trying to be clever load of rubbish. The art of a good watchable film these days is sparse.
