Boring Movie with bad directing and a not very believable story line. I wonder who writes these scripts. The acting was horrifying. In every sentence there was a pause then a dramatic infinite stare another pause and another sentence again. Repeat. Really funny stuff. Everything was amateurish - low budget. The directing was overly sterile not convincing, without any real emotion. No wonder the film grossed a total of not over 400,000$ in the US. I will easily skip this one from all mediums including DVD's.

An otherwise poor directing job with colorless, second rate acting and a very bad script was only saved by Jennifer Lawrence's outstanding performance which unfortunately was not enough to save the film's chaotic story line and grotesque violent plot turns. The effort to give the movie a cold war feeling is completely unsuccessful to the point that it becomes comical and the actors look like cartoon characters. This is a missed opportunity because it could have easily been a much better film.

As it turns out great cinematography, good acting and good directing is not enough to make a film great. It has to have a story. And this movie has none. Its is boring. Nothing happens. The movie could have finished 15 minutes after the start and it would have made absolutely no difference. The scenario in non existent. It is a pity because the cinematography was amazing. The main characters played by Maika Monroe and Matt O'Leary were very well acted. It makes me wonder why waist so much talent to make a film without a purpose.
