This is two completely different movies. The first half is great, with compelling characters who have interesting lives and complex motivations. The acting is fantastic, especially the two leads. I actively cared about these characters.
The second half is horror movie amateur hour. Everything about the movie changes. The characters I had started to care about turned into mindless automata, and the entire promise of the movie was gone.
It's literally like the director handed over the camera to someone else, and someone not nearly as good. The second half of the movie was unbelievably bad, but the most depressing was that the first half had set things up to be such a great movie, and then it was a complete letdown.
