    Very good and thrilling drama
    Thrilling and strong drama filled with suspense. The performances are fine and the excecution is totally credible. While this movie stands great on its own, I´m waiting the remake being directed by the same director and with Claire Foy and James McAvoy starring. Despite the talents involved, they have shoes to fill in comparison with this.
