This is adapted from a short story, and you can tell. This would have been better suited to a 30 or 40 minute Black Mirror episode, or a compilation of Stephen King short stories adapted to screen rather than a standalone movie running at 1hr 40m. There just isn't enough substance and energy there to keep up any tension or torque and so it comes over rather diluted and disappointing by the end.
Donald Sutherland is well cast as the jaded and somewhat bitter financier. Still rolling out films at nearly 90 is great to see; a strong presence amongst a cast of unknowns.
It's certainly worth a watch, just don't expect too much from it.
