But something is off, the writing, the pacing, the editing, the visual style and the directing are all woefully sub par. Maybe this is a bastardised version of a much longer much slower film but as it is it's too plain and unexciting to feel relevant and not artistically connected to great heist/chase/war films from the past feel inspired by great cinema of the past.
Such an immediately boring and flat film from such an accomplished classically bent creative team and a potentially rich premise.

A neat premise watered down by an un-engaging mystery, wish washy politics and lacklustre performances by miscast actors. As a much cheaper film, maybe a bottle-type one room affair with nastier grittier actors and a more streamlined plot with better characters it could have been an excellent little thriller for the current age.

If it's possible for Mike Flanagan to have directed this film like a Stephen King short story, he has. There's a neat one-room premise, a modern/relevant take on the bulk of the source material, some wonderful central performances and a relatable slew of voices inside your head.
Classic King ending intact. Bonkers. But done well.
