i'm glad i saw this very indie style thriller. several elements here - gritty, sexy (explicit sexual scene), yet chilling and full of suspense - i thought this was a refreshingly unique film with realistic characters. the plot is a bit of a slowly-moving windy road, but never lost my interest. very slow take-off, but well worth the wait and following the main character the same way she follows her object of interest. looking forward to discovering more like it.
