This has to be seen before you leave this earth; it's another incredible work from Hugh Jackman and features a genuinely unexpected turn of events.

This is a gripping and skillfully made suspense film. It stands out among recent releases thanks to the excellent acting from Jackman, Gyllenhaal, and Dano. There's plenty to consider afterward as well; I found it quite enjoyable to watch.
