Let women be evil!

This was compelling right from the start. I kept thinking this would be a wonderful movie. I have to admit, that I wasn't surprised by the twists and turns however, there we two that did surprise me. I would recommend it.

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

really interesting and hard to put down but after the wild ride of the main story and the constant flip flop of who i was rooting for, the ending felt a little lackluster. 

like all the insanity built up to an ultimate shrug. plot-wise, i think it’s a good ending that they end up in some marionette domestic life together, but i wish there was more from nick to justify it. i wanted him to be more insane at the end to feel like that whole each other’s equals thing rang true, and not just a man resigned.

Wow. Snarky and cruel and impossible to put down. A modern "War of the Roses" meets "Whos's afraid of Virginia Woolf."
