Wow- I saw this at Tribeca and I thought it was awesome. I am NOT a Peter Krause fan going in but I am NOW. He was amazing. If your looking for a super taut thriller and edge of your seat viewing this film is for you. I won't ruin any of it but suffice it to say that all is not as it seems. I'm now looking for everything and anything by this talented director! And the music! Wow-I did a search on Amazon and came up nothing. Eli Krantzenberg's score is simply astonishing. What a main theme. I wished I can hear it again. If anyone knows when this is available on DVD I'd sure like to know. Richard Shiff has to really steal the day though for performances. He is rock solid and totally believable. That had to be a tough role because it could go in so many directions. And Khaled Abol Naga is great. He plays his character just right so that you never really know what he's thinking or what he's up to. These films are hard to do right since it is a delicate balance with character paranoia. And what I loved MOST and this is sadly lacking from films today is a film where something is left to the audience. Instead of being spoon fed every plot this one leaves some of it in our hands. Definitely NOT 'chewing gum for the mind'. A nice departure from your usual Hollywood formula!
