It is a pretty solid genre entry that occasionally hints at the richer story dancing at its edges.

It is an intriguing concept brought to life in an exceedingly dull film. The characters are thin, with the central one being a complete void of interest, and the pacing is extremely sluggish.

The patient, subtly emotional filmmaking, and a very strong performance from excellent character actor John Magaro, make for a mostly engaging drama.

It is smart, with likable characters, a very good cast (onscreen as well as via voiceover), a mystery that makes sense and genuinely amusing jokes.
