Yeah, it's a pretty solid thriller.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

So is Matthew Fox. Both of those guys are outstanding.

Hmm, I thought he did really well with his wife shots. All the natural scenery seemed really well balanced and framed the action nicely. But I guess some of the tighter stuff left something to be desired.

It's an okay movie, but the cinematography and lighting are utterly sterile and lifeless, and there is no sensuality in the camerawork. It's a prosaic movie. Clearly the work of a writer, not a filmmaker. Which is a shame, because the dialogue and cast are great.

I totally agree about the lack of sensuality. I actually liked the cinematography and lighting -- looked sort of dusty and old. Come to think of it, I think we had a similar disagreement about Hateful 8. I might just be a sucker for films with old-looking mountain shots. Always reminds me of childhood summers in Idaho.
