Mcavoy isn't THAT good

Rating: 4/10 (24 December 2019)

He's interesting to watch, but calling him "brilliant" or "I can't believe he didn't win an Oscar" is a real stretch. Frankly his performance wasn't believable, but it's not entirely his fault, since the film in general seems to take itself too seriously with its long, lingering, closeup shots of peoples' faces as they struggle to figure out what's going on, and if that's not bad enough, scenes are stretched out so far that whatever suspense and drama they might have possessed evaporate with every passing moment. None of the actors are very good at what they do, which is ironic since it's their vocation. Three girls are kidnapped and they're calmly sitting on the bed? They should be scared out of their minds but they act more like being kidnapped is a minor inconvenience.
