6/10
Good but I have some questions

Great buildup throughout the movie with good tension and atmosphere but I feel like the second half of the movie went off the rails a bit. We feel a lot of sympathy for the main character who is obviously in a very bad relationship and wants to get out. She successfully does so, or so she thinks. I enjoyed all the characters in the movie especially the police officer and his daughter. They brought some realism to the feel of the film. This is about the time where things get a bit sloppy though.

We know that Adrian built a secret invisible suit and we are shown that there are at least two of them because Cecilia finds one during the time when Adrian is tormenting her. Meaning that he has another suit and is wearing it. For some reason his brother is involved and we are never really told why. I know the story is that Adrian is a manipulator but convincing the brother to go kill some police/security guards? Seems a bit far fetched. I think the director and writer are showing us that Adrian really was behind all of it and basically got his brother to go down for everything. However, it really isn't said out loud that Adrian really did it all. There is a subtle reference to the "surprise" word being used at the end but some thing still don't add up.

We are led to believe that there are two total suits because we know that Adrian and his brother are using them at the same time in order to be around Cecilia at all times but we see Cecilia take the second suit and hide it in Adrians' house near the beginning. So was there actually three suits? Because we are led to believe that Cecilia kills Adrian at the end by surprising him at dinner while wearing the suit. So then the suit she stashed would have to be the one she used right? If so then is it the second suit or the third? We never see evidence of a third suit so then how does Adrian and his brother both have a suit and also Cecilia at the end? There is no way that there could only have been two suits total because Cecilia hid the second one and Adrian would not have just put it back where she hid it. So there has to be three then. Also Cecilia apparently put the suit on and killed Adrian and then had it off and was back in her other outfit in like a minute. Way too fast. To me, these are way too many loose ends for this movie to be a higher score but it's still worth watching.
