It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
