If this serves as nothing more than a vehicle for Damian Lewis' ticking-time-bomb performance, then in all honesty there are worse ways to go than this I guess. Always engrossing but very much of-its-time, when these sorts of minimalist indie character studies mistook being jittery and off-kilter for being profound (whereas nowadays they mistake being robotic and dull for being profound... I kinda want these ones back lmfao). It seems concerned with shocking in the moment but doesn't leave much left over to chew on. It's not that there's no emotion, there's some - it just feels like there should be more. Though Lewis' Earth-shattering acting brings this character to resounding life amidst the sea of beaten-path elements on display - 99% of the positives I can give to this movie are because of him. Nearly worth it if you're into showy performances like I am, you're free to ditch the rest of it.
