Effective as an ode to cynical realism but it’s uneven at best as a slice of drama.

A quietly intense alternative to generic horror movies that provides its share of scares without the need to splatter the screen with blood and viscera.

The end result is unsettling and reminiscent of what Hitchcock might have done with this premise.

Soderbergh constructs a masterful tale of escalating crime, filled with anti-heroes, outright villains, and low-key twists at every turn.

The film’s occasional overreaches aren’t always a negative; the high points are very high and, when it’s all over, most viewers will remember them.

Never takes itself too seriously, delivers all the goods one expects from this sort of action-thriller, and doesn’t overstay its welcome.

The escapism on offer here isn’t of a light and airy nature but instead provides insight into the darker, obsessive aspects of the human experience.
