What a mighty good movie for one where it’s mostly improvised! James McAvoy was really good in this given that he hadn’t had a script! Wasn’t boring at all and I quite liked the story too! I do feel like some things were left unanswered though such as all of the things related to Edmonds job and all of the files and stuff that the police gathered overseas? Also what happened to the other kids? Were they all gathered and saved? Ig improvising movies can leave some plot holes but still a really good movie!

A very atmospheric thriller. James, as always, carries the film. Nothing more to say. One of the best thrillers.
