I wanted to give this a 7 by the end but the painfully melodramatic scene preceding it stayed my hand and all the little yawn moments along the way, paired with what I understand as plot holes to sustain suspense, helped concrete my decision. Acting wise everything is on par, I love Cillian Murphy and enjoy seeing Jamie Bell is a more assertive role than usual. Still, some scenes were a pain go get through but I'd be lying of I said I wasn't in suspense. So the writing and story were pretty solid but much of the execution felt a bit off. Would recommend for a free rental/stream.
