    I think that the raw approach that they went for really fell flat. The movie completely relied on dialogue to build suspense/tension, yet I didn’t think it was strong enough to do just that. I also wasn’t a fan of the editing either. That is something that could have made the film way better and fixed major pacing issues if done differently. The film just sort of lost me early on.

    Man oh man. I felt like I was watching the same thing for an hour straight. This definitely was not for me. It hooked me at first with the restaurant scene having a surprising amount of suspense as we wait for Art to do something awful. Then 75% of the movie is spent in a building where the characters run in circles until we reach a point where Art has boobies. Grade: F

    Definitely shades of both Zodiac and Silence of the Lambs in this one. Had inconsistent pacing but Nic Cage fully commits and the esthetic makes it worth a watch. Grade: B+
