Brit Marling does if again and this time with a killer cast.
The directing makes this a pretty interesting watch. Great actors in the forefront. I do wish the drama in there little group was different.
Solid flick, if a bit heavy-handed. Batmanglij writes well for Marling, and it seems they have an understanding of each other's strengths.
The protagonist's character arch and the themes expressed are solid and I like that it has a strong female lead without overstating it.
We've seen undercover films plenty of times, but Brit Marling always bring that special something that kicks it up a notch.
An operative goes undercover in an anarchic/eco-terrorist group in this subdued thriller. A strong start that fizzles out by the end.
Unique cat & mouse story where allegiances are blurred in this slow burn (maybe too slow) thriller. Marling & Skarsgård have good chemistry.
Its quite boring to be honest, seems like a b-movie with teen-ish script.
I couldn't make it past the dinner scene. I was laughing so hard at how stupid it was and how seriously the movie was taking itself
The film's good and all, but the fact the director has Batman in his name amuses me for some reason.
