Pammo Dec 26 2018 1:03 pm Very intense movie and good throughout all stages of storytelling. Topnotch actors that are readily identifiable. The ending is truly challenging - I had to question yourself whether the ending could have been different. The adrenaline at the end was extreme and really made the movie outstanding. Glad to have found it on Netflix post-Christmas.
