Some of the choices strain credulity and the biggest name in the piece, Josh Hutcherson, feels miscast, but this is a film that kept me uncertain of what would happen next and affirms Gan as an interesting young filmmaker to watch.

I have seen poor rating all over for this movie, so, I was watching it without any expectations, May be that's the reason I really liked it. I have a taste for little bit weird and strange characters, this made me engage in the movie throughout. It's a good example of low budget experimental film making with limited actors and location. Impressive.

Certain interesting elements, especially when it comes to Tilda Cobham-Hervey's character but it gets longer than it should and the plot stumbles on its own comings and goings. Average regular stuff.

Neither Gan's screenplay nor his direction of the cast quite sells this scenario, but once he introduces some accidental violence, the picture can ride the familiar logic of crime-gone-wrong storytelling.
