I enjoyed the way the plot unfolded by showing it from the point of view of several of the characters. Each layer of the plot revealed a connection between the previous protagonist and the next. It could have been complete confusion but it flowed easily from one scenario to another. There was great acting, in my opinion, from all the stars.
Several reviewers have mentioned how unreal/unlikely the premise was. That didn't worry me because the film held my attention for the, give or take, two hours. So many times I have given up on a programme but this was one that whiled away a rainy afternoon.
However, I have deducted a star because it was so DARK and I don't mean the story. I realise it was probably a directorial choice given the subject matter but when you struggle to see what's going on, it spoils it a little.
