The film feels fleshed out as it steadily plods along.
The actors are convincing in their various roles and the dialogue and direction is decisive and uncliched. However, the "twist" is broadcast a little too clearly and a little too early to really be surprising. Furthermore, after the big reveal at the end of act two, the film loses most of its momentum and descends into mere exposition.
Some visceral reaction to the revelations of the final act would have provided much needed energy. Instead the film limps unsatisfyingly into the closing credits.
