“I started watching this movie, knowing nothing about it more then it was a crime thriller about some serial killer, which usually is decent entertainment, not gonna lie. This movie started out in the usual way that these type of movies usually goes, still seemed promising, I really liked the characters and the vibe. Then it took a turn and first I thought u0026quot;oh no, itu0026#39;s turning in to one of those moviesu0026quot; but then I realized it was still good, even better, I actually liked it a lot, it just wasnu0026#39;t what I first thought it would be. I believe this script could easily had become somewhat of a cheesy horror movie in the wrong hands, but not here, itu0026#39;s very well directed; has this gritty vibe and feel, like a David Finch movie kind of. And youu0026#39;re kept in suspense trough the whole movie, not knowing whatu0026#39;s going to happen or how things will go down. And the acting is very good, supurb really. Very good dynamics between all characters, even side characters. I think this is Goodmans best role in his career. And Denzel takes the whole movie to another level, he is one of those actor that can do that, I think he must be one of the, if not the, greatest actor in American cinema actually. Anyway, this a good movie all I can say. Kind of an underrated movie but a real gem. I also appreciate it when movies can be creepy and scary without having to use gore or torture scenes. This movie is actually kind of refreshing, even if the premise isnu0026#39;t completely new, this movie really has itu0026#39;s own character.”
