I like a slow burner but there needs to be a payoff and here there simply isn't. There's very little that is tense or exciting. The story goes nowhere really and gives us nothing new. The script is lazy and the result is some pretty tepid central performances. There is so much exposition there is no tension at all. Laurence Fishburne is a highlight. He's engaging for the time he's onscreen. I think the intention is for viewers to make their own conclusion, to leave the payoff to their own imaginations. The trouble is the movie just wasn't engaging enough for me to invest so I just left it feeling disappointed.
