Just came back from seeing this movie by the same director who made "A History of Violence" (David Cronenberg)

The bottom line:

-Very well acted
-Great atmosphere
-Great story
-Very intense/unnerving at times

What it could have been:

-shorter... it drags on like crazy at points
-more developed in terms of story (near the end, mainly)
-less boring with a little more action
-a movie without male nudity

Bottom line:

Good movie, if not a bit slow and tedius at times. The action, although very limited, was ruthless and violent, which completely the film's very serious tone.

If you want to see a movie that is far from run-of-the mill which is extremely well acted and themed, then do yourself a favour and see this.
Just prepare yourself for a long experience.
