The acting is excellent (particular Darin) and the sound and vision create an atmosphere that help draw you into a plot that builds and builds. This is more a thriller than a psychological thriller. The whole point is it's about an almost characterless man trying to figure out a series of puzzles. If there's anything psychological about the thriller it's Darin learning about the vicious criminal whose heist he tries to carry out as he assumes another identity. And the thrill is you wondering how long he can keep the act up before they realise he's just a boring taxidermist. I thought the reviewer was a bit harsh.
