It’s not just the complexities of its characters that are compelling, but Rosman’s ability to drop narrative bombs that cataclysmically alter the genre and narrative direction.

As the film's initial scope of Jessie and Elsa continues to zoom out, we suddenly all know the traumatic horror of "New Life" all too well. And we feel for our hero to a depth that action-thrillers have never known. What a delight, what a discovery.
