Really impressed with this one. Given the conceit of the plot, it definitely could have gone over the edge into ridiculous territory, but it manages to stay a really grounded examination of morality, truth, and survival instinct.
I was worried as Marcus pulled Justin aside on the bridge that they were going to strain credulity with how much Marcus has been able to deduce or suss out, and instead that scene ends up reinforcing what I love about the movie instead.
The ending is just the right amount of ambiguous, as it doesn't necessarily give you "everything," it leaves a little room for reflection and discussion, but there's no doubt in my mind that based on what we've seen we know exactly how events will proceed and we're not left guessing.
