A film that turns itself into its last victim

Rating: 3/10 (25 November 2019)

This is an odd one, because the time-wise, the majority of the film is good, if not very good for the type of film it is trying to be. The plot progresses nicely (albeit a little predictably) and includes a series of sufficiently tense scenes to warrant this being called a thriller.
... then comes a point where the film tries to be clever, and utterly fails. And then it tries further, and fails further. In some films, things like these can be cast aside to some degree: the film might be good, 'but' this and that. Here, without spoiling anything, the elements that challenge the integrity of the film are such that they kill the quality of the experience entirely. You don't come out of this thinking 'oh, that was mostly good', you think 'wow, what a disappointment and who the hell wrote this film'. Total shame.
