Just streamed it last night. I was never bored and all four main leads were solid (I think Jude Law is very underrated), but I'm not convinced the movie held up under the weight of all of its twists. Either that, or some of the twists toward the end seemed very rushed compared to the slow pace of the initial set-up.

Still... highly recommended.

The twists actually caught me (for a bit) because I thought I was watching more of a straight forward drama.

FWIW, Soderbergh needs to end his "retirement" sooner than later.

Didn't care for the ending plot contrivance. Spoiled what was otherwise a good movie.

Saw it today and thought it was good Hitchcockian like thriller.

4/5
