Review:
Liked all the performances and thought it was well-directed, taut and suspenseful throughout. The ending was really clever too. I actually loved that it escalated quickly because I was sure in the beginning that it would slowly lead to the big twist that Olyphant's character figured out in the first 15 or 20 minutes. Allowed the movie to explore more ideas. My only gripes were the usual dumb horror character moves -- "stay here while I go explore..", etc.
