This movie took me two weeks to watch. Reviews describe it with the words of a thoroughly engaging thriller: "taut," "lurid," "compelling," but every time I began watching it, it lulled me to sleep or boredom within 15 minutes, and I just couldn't summon up the will to keep watching. I'm glad I finally finished it, but it just couldn't capture my attention at any point in its 2+ hours.
