POSITIVES…
Amazing performance by Nicole Kidman as Detective Erin Bell.
The general supporting cast are good in it as well.
There’s a bit of aging and de-aging makeup work here that I thought was nice to see.
Just like Nicole Kidman’s character in the movie, there’s a bit of unpredictability to the plot. Kidman and the plot are the film’s best traits. There are some good scenes that highlight this fact.
Movie can be pretty tense, and has a general air of apprehension throughout. With that said, it has a very deliberate pace to it, that doesn’t feel like it’s in a hurry at all.
The movie is very downbeat, and unpleasant in many ways. Not an upper at all, which I suppose works well with what they are going for with the film.
NEGATIVES…
The movie’s tone is maybe too downbeat. Some would say that it’s too much of a downer to watch.
Some might say that the movie drags a little bit, because of the tone and the pacing.
Too many unlikable characters?
Ending might be accused of being gimmicky.
P.S….
As somebody who lives in the Southern California region, it was kinda nice having a general idea on all the areas, and the distances travelled by Detective Erin Bell.
