My quick rating - 6,6/10. I recall the trailers for this movie and thought it would be another candy cutter melodrama. That was their fault, not mine. This was a well rounded psychological thriller that didn't overwhelm nor did it bore the viewer. The pacing was just right to hold your attention and have you wonder what turn was next. Joel Edgerton crafts a good tale for being his first film and certainly won't be his last. Between his directing and also Jason Bateman turning in a great performance as the lead, this movie shines. It may be another revenge type story but the ending leaves it in a way that isn't so cut and dry (don't you wish sometimes I would just give spoilers?) Anyway, to sum it up, an overall very good film that aside from some stupid character decisions and reactions that distracted, a solid flick worth a look.
