        I loved it too. And also had the same thought. It is atmospheric, a slow burn, captivating. In the end not much actually happened. So I am not compelled to see it again.

          Rockwell is a great actor, can’t recall any bad performances from him. He even managed to get some good performance as Hammer in the disaster named Iron Man 2.
