Joseph (Ben Whishaw) works at the airport security checkpoint. He's struggling with mental illness and it spirals out of control.

Full marks for Ben Whishaw's performance. Full full marks. The story could do a bit more dramatic reworking. It needs a more compelling climax. It does get a bit repetitive. Nevertheless, this is all about Ben and he's amazing.

Ben Wishaw channels a little of his 'perfume' performance here, (see if you catch the reference), although much more unhinged of course. More madness less method. There's an anxiety which runs throughout this entire picture, exaggerated by the handheld style camera which follows Wishaw's 'Joseph' as he unravels of the course of a couple of days. I really enjoyed this wee film, it all hinges around Wishaw's performance of course and he's great.

I can understand if some folk don't like the shaky cam thing but I thought it worked really well.

I'll keep it spoiler free.

7.3/10.

Mysteriously mysterious .

Watch it and find out for yourself.

There's times you think woahh then there's times you think WTF is going on but there are also times you think what a wicked actor.

What an incredibly hard film to watch. I liked it, I hated it, and as it went on I felt the cheese was slipping of my cracker!! Glad I got to the end without having a breakdown. Well done, but in an uncomfortable, that jumper I haven't worn in a year is infested with creepy crawlies, sort of way. Don't worry I've covered all the mirrors in the house, because I keep having arguments with someone who has an uncanny resembleance to me!!

This movie is raw.

The actor does a great job playing the character.

I can't say much or it spoils it.

Camera filming is shaky, but sort of fits what's going on.
