I thoroughly enjoyed this movies throw back appeal. From the music to the scenery I thought it was very well done and invoked a style of movie making from the early days. Ones that would be considered cliche by todays standards but one that they somehow pulled off in this. I think this was a testament to the great acting involved in this movie. The actors really sold their roles so what one could consider cliche and unreal they made you believe. Well done on that front.

The movie can be a bit bland at times. Slow moving. Could be because of the above mentioned throw back style and the director trying to add that extra layer of suspense but to people who have been around the block one too many times when it comes to thrillers it just falls flat. It was entertaining to watch but at the end of the day a touch too predictable for my tastes.
