anyone seen this?  I just came back from it.  it's a glossy Belgium thriller.  It was well-made with a pretty good plot and good acting, but a pretty standard thriller.  My friend really wanted to see Me You and Everyone We Know but it wasn't playing tonight so we saw this instead.  it was just an altogether very irrelevant film-going experience.  Like I appreciate the craftsmanship but there's just nothing in it for me.  It's too standard for a thriller, despite its existential possibilities with this dark remorseless killer on the verge of losing his marbles.  I wasn't even asking for like Phillip K Dick, just something poppy like Collateral or Man on the Train, but instead, it was just a very very Generic thriller.  if you're looking for a good thriller, check this out.  if you're looking to be moved, get a bunch of able-bodied friends.
