Sam Claflin absolutely nailed this role. Many abrupt/awkward transitions throughout the movie as well as a few unnecessary scenes trying to aid character development that fell short and came off as weak storytelling. The movie will keep you interested and the start studded cast each stepped up to the plate within their own roles. It's a great $5 Tuesday movie, but don't pay normal prices to see it.

The cast does a lot of the heavy lifting in the film, which evades exploring the characters' trauma. The emotional drama is a vehicle fueling a messy story in a film primarily concerned with elevating the mystery that so easily unravels by the end.

Every character is merely a stereotype or symbol, not a fully-fleshed out person. Indeed, one has to wonder what every actor, including Monaghan, is doing in this flimsily written psychological thriller, but perhaps, that question isn’t even worth the speculation.

The film initially pretends to have some sensitivity about mental illness, but blatantly trivializes it and uses it as a crutch upon which to hang the villain’s increasingly maniacal actions.
