Screenwriters spend years learning their craft and the first thing they are taught is to bring the action OUTSIDE of four walls, plus scenes shouldn't last longer than a page or two. This film throws out all screenwriting convention and keeps the actors talking in one, claustrophobic apartment for the entirety of the film. Not only is the lack of action and scenery boring, but it just made me, the viewer antsy wanting a new scene, a new locale, an introduction of a NEW CHARACTER (another actor), ANYTHING to free the viewer of this ultimate boredom. The actress is quite good and engaging, but she doesn't have much to work with here. The male lead is just not good, or maybe all he's been given are reactions to the plot. I've always liked Stephen Lang, but as a German inspector, his performance seems stiff and uncomfortable. Consequently, this film goes absolutely nowhere other than to anger the viewer!! 👎🏼👎🏼
