There was excellent dramatic tension developed in the triangulated relationship of Simon, his wife Robyn, and Simon's old acquaintance from high school named Gordon (Gordo).
The film is tantalizing in the slow reveal that Simon effectively ruined Gordo's life with a high school prank that characterized Simon's habit of bullying. But now it is payback time from Gordo, who disrupts Simon's family life and likely inseminates Robyn, who finally becomes pregnant and successfully delivers a baby boy.
Some of the expressions on the face of Jason Bateman, who played Simon, were priceless. It slowly comes to dawn on him that he is being outfoxed with his own game of bullying, this time with a vengeance he never could have imagined.
Good work from the multi-talented Edgerton, who scripted, directed, and played the role of the disturbed Gordo.
