    This is a good Thriller whit some drawbacks
    This movie has a fantastic story but the script was much better then what the screen is showing you

    Twiggy and Emma is best in the movie and saves it from Bottoms lazy performance

    The story is thrilling but could have ben more fast here but if the director had let the movie follow the script then this movie would ben much better

    But this movie is good enough and watch it
