I love the atmosphere and style of this movie... but that's where the accolades stop. Okay, shots are nice and acting is good too. The main problem is the storytelling. You find out so much about the "mystery" so early that it completely deflates the tension. Rather than the story building toward an exciting conclusion, it plods along to the inevitable. To call this is a mystery is not accurate. It's a character story where characters lie and try to outmaneuver each other. But it wears thin, because it mostly feels like an acting showcase.
