When I saw the ad for this and the star studded cast, it was instantly put into my watch list. This rainy Saturday was the perfect setting to enjoy the film.
It was clear right away that the same director from "Homecoming" was behind the camera. His love of strange zooms, artistic shots that take up a bit too much time, and bold music that doesn't quite fit were all tip-top in their presence. There was also a nice movement of color. From blue, to white, to red.
The plot was good. I think basing it off a common fear I believe most Americans have some where in the back of their minds, was brilliant.
The acting was decent. I believe all of the younger actors could have been better, but everyone's a critic. To me their performances fell flat +/or were too much. The adults were fantastic and all delivered perfectly.
Overall I would say this is a decent watch for movie lovers. It's not an Oscar winner but it wasn't trying to be. If there were a part 2, I'd be down to see how it plays out for sure.
