Good 90 minute escape with several suspenseful moments!

The way this movie was filmed had an almost Hitchcock feel to it, with increasing volume of music adding to that feeling. The plot was a bit disjointed, I had to read about the movie after viewing to understand a few things. Not great but watchable. The director could have drawn more emotion from Josh Duhamels character, seemed flat despite what was going on with him.

I really cannot stress enough to anyone reading this to NOT waste your time. I’m really not sure what the purpose of this movie was but it definitely was not to entertain. I usually do not read up on movies before watching because I’ve had good movies spoiled for me that way. Now wishing that I had read some of the 1 star ratings before watching. Child rape and emotional abuse of a spouse is not love but are somehow shown as “normal” in this movie.

Script could have used some tweaking so that language didn’t seem so 21st century but overall I thought the performances by the actors were very good. I’ve not read the book and I understand the series is not true to the book but it was a good watch, good storytelling of a book that is fiction.

The lead actor, Khris Davis, did a superb job with the different stages of George’s life!

Watched this on Hulu and not sure why but when the Israeli actors spoke there were no captions/subtitles, so some of the story fell flat for me. Well acted by Gere and of course Buchemi, as well as many of the others.

Unable to leave less than 1 star, in order to post a warning to NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS MOVIE!!!! From beginning to not-so-surprising ending, this movie holds ZERO entertainment value, unless you like psycho-for-no-reason-revenge films! You’ve been warned! Despite the script they were given, I do think the cast did a good job, especially looking absolutely horrified!
