A Coen-esque thriller

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2018)

I started watching this believing it to be a true story (whereas it is just inspired by one). I gradually twigged that as the story became increasingly surreal, and the characters became more extreme in their actions. But that said, the actions and twists make sense within the characters as portrayed, as they are all well rounded and acted, if all slightly nuts in their own way. The film had the off kilter feel of some Coen Brothers movies, which is no bad thing in my book.
