The film is fast and tight and hits all the beats perfectly. Read full review

Some of the choices strain credulity and the biggest name in the piece, Josh Hutcherson, feels miscast, but this is a film that kept me uncertain of what would happen next and affirms Gan as an interesting young filmmaker to watch. Read full review

The problem is that writer-director Mike Gan’s first feature, though competently handled in most departments, doesn’t commit enough to any approach to fulfill its potential. Read full review

Neither Gan's screenplay nor his direction of the cast quite sells this scenario, but once he introduces some accidental violence, the picture can ride the familiar logic of crime-gone-wrong storytelling. Read full review

Certain interesting elements, especially when it comes to Tilda Cobham-Hervey's character but it gets longer than it should and the plot stumbles on its own comings and goings.

Average regular stuff.
