Simon R @RT64486026 Aug 2 Paxton and Thornton are particularly compelling. I've rewatched a few times now, and the twists and turns always amaze me. See more Josh G @Parsifal83 Aug 1 A simple premise spirals into an increasingly absorbing study of greed, guilt, and desperation. It's an effective thriller, though its writing never quite reaches the level of moral complexity its premise seems to promise.

When people talk about their favorite noir or thriller films, this isn’t a Top 10 pick… this is a Top 3. One of my all time favorites. See more RichardAB T @PoorDearRichard Apr 4 This story becomes a slow, suffocating weight—the kind that makes you hope things will turn out, even as you sense it’s all a bad idea. It’s tragic, overwhelming at times, and built on the uncomfortable truth that trust can crumble the moment pressure hits. The acting is completely believable across the board. Billy Bob Thornton is great, but Bill Paxton carries the film with a performance that feels jittery, anxious, and painfully real. He plays the unraveling with such honesty that every moment feels heavier. Their dynamic makes each moment more unsettling, making this film a solid, tense, unraveling ride.

Who woulda thunk it!? And I think about what it would have been like seeing this on the big screen, and I honestly think I’d have enjoyed it more than most of the films I’ve seen over the last few years.
