If you've never been exposed to this plot, then there is still great fun with this film, even with all this murky, dark photography.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 2, 2022

Chechik fails to create any real suspense or thrills and does not seamlessly juggle the serious thriller aspects with the black comedy

Silly update of the French classic; the ending is an unforgivable cop-out.
