Fails to engage There are slow movies, and there are molasses-like movies, but a movie can still grip you, even if the story is slow. This is not that kind of movie. This is slow, and it fails to grip you. The tension is too thin, and too vague. The casting is good, and the direction is solid, but the movie does not take off.
