nick s Good cast and competently directed. Moore is convincing as a woman who is haunted by her decision to do the right thing. For the most part the story is grounded in reality and the characters act in a logical way. It slips a bit in the third act. The tradeoff is that the pacing is a little sluggish. However that gives the watcher plenty of time to weigh up the dilemma facing the lead, which isn't a bad thing. Another negative is that there is no mystery to the plot. This movie receives a lot of poor reviews, but too many in my opinion. It's a good effort compared to the majority of modern movies and I enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
