So, here we go again: if IMDB had an option to hide the current rating of a film, i would gladly check it and never see any rating again. This film deserves so much more.

It was good, suspenceful and well written. Ok, you may identify the "twist" early in the film, but... you don't expect the ending.

Kudos.

Have you ever seen a movie or television show where the characters suddenly act oddly, only to realize that you are watching a dream sequence?

I started the movie filled with questions about the odd behavior of the two principal characters. What very successful architect misses an important flight to give a young woman a ride? Why would two Europeans spend hours talking in clunky English rather than reverting to German or French? Why would the man waste his time on an odd and talk talk talky girl. Why does the director keep showing shots of the airport schematic? Who is the young woman and why does she want to kill?

Then the movie gave me the answers. Liars dream up stories because they don't like the truth. If they tell the lies long enough, then it REPLACES their truth. But it is still a lie.

The movie is interesting, but the characters are so unlikable and the pacing so uneven that it's a chore to get to the end.

2020 and 2021 has been really hard on me as a movie lover with few films and fewer ones with quality or fresh plot. But this one comes as fresh air. The quality is good and portrays perfect balance between mystery thriller and psychological aspects. It's not a jumping off the skyscraper with a racing car film, It's a slow paced and based on intellectual dialogues. Though it is slow, I never felt a boring moment and was edger to see what happens next. And yes the logic of it for some part has plot holes or just hard to explain and might be predictable at times, but it's a quality work and deserves credit.

Another unrealistic movie with a good plot but with scenes in contradiction with others. I agree that it was very difficult to turn this story into a movie, and in that way, it is successful. But the "strange" or irrelevant scenes spoils the plot too soon. I didn't watch the trailer and I was like: "no impossible", "why then this happens?" "Don't tell me all that for that?" "Oh no!" And then a final disappointment as many people here... So I understand the harsh ratings and the good ratings. Hence 5.5 is fine average. I wanted to put 5 but I added 1 point because it made me dive in at some point and this is why I watch movies...

The movie is ok. Watchable.

The plot was ok. Kind of predictable but not poorly executed.

The problem for me was the ending. Why did all this happen in the first place, if it all amounted to nothing.
