Pretty Well done and balanced thriller!

I'm honestly still left in "aw" by how good this movie truly is. I mean it is a well-paced, well thought out, and very well done movie in general! Okay I had never heard of this (Unfortunately not many have), in fact if my friend hadn't stumbled upon it I unfortunately would have never experienced it greatness. Thankfully fate had it different! So I put this in and I'm instantly expecting it to be long, boring, mediocre, and all around nothing special, boy was I wrong. I was just so indulged in this movie, it just so darn good. It has enough entertainment, and plot twists to keep you really into the story, and I love movies like that. I love movies that toy with your mind like this one does, it keeps you guessing and wondering all through it. Okay, I just love how it's paced. Like, I love how it starts off and introduces the characters and how you see a friendship form between the two leads. I also just love how you find out shocking evidence that leads to the big build up when the characters do. Because you have to admit sometimes in movies it's kind of annoying when the characters know something really important that we don't know. I also love how it's just very well thought out. Like this movie could have been two things as far as it's thriller/drama aspect went. It could have been a very lazy one filled with a ton of plot holes, very unlikable characters, unbelievable situations, and worst of all it trying to hard and showing through bad action and dialog. Thankfully it wasn't it was the opposite in fact. This is by far one of the most interesting and most well done, and unfortunately under-seen movies out there. So if y any chance you were to stumble upon this, I do strongly recommend you to see it. And while it may suffer from some cliché's and predictability at minor times, it's still a very well thought out, and great film.
