As a lesson in how subtle acting styles can calm a highly pitched story, pic delivers the goods.

A thought-provoking mindbender unfolding in one room and narrowly focused on a grisly, gradually-escalating standoff.

Rated: 2.5/4

The film is just average, a bit manipulative and is little more than a stagy adaptation of a play which never existed featuring more of a battle of the accents rather than will.

Rated: 2.5/4

Estruturalmente similar ao excelente Uma Simples Formalidade, estabelece uma boa tenso atravs da montagem eficaz, das atuaes intensas e de um roteiro que, embora no to surpreendente, convence em sua lgica interna.

Rated: 4/5

Boring movie with no payoff. It’s all dialogue but none of it is interesting to listen to. And with a predictable ending that is honestly just more of a frustrating, confusing ending, this just ends up just feeling like a frustrating and waste of time movie

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
