Really engaging thriller, the manipulative mind games played by the villain were top notch. The conversations and scenes were very tense and the combat was great. I did have a gripe towards the end with the unrealistic stupidity of one of the villains going ballistic when they were trying to keep a low profile for so long, the risk makes no sense. Some of the plot beats are generic and uninspired, but I enjoyed the tight pacing and overall intensity, the back and forth banter is really entertaining and the strongest element of the film is making you wonder what you would do in a situation where you have to weigh the lives of strangers against your own and loved ones’ safety.
