Thoughts
This is an interesting movie because it's brilliant thanks to Sandra, obviously, but otherwise it's just a good film that's kinda forgettable. I wish they could have done more with Steve Buscemi, and it felt like Sandy's recovery came a little too easily in the end, but honestly, I could watch her in anything. I don't think I'd actively recommend this film but if you do end up watching it, you'll be ok.
