I went in to this with low expectations, for no other reason than struggling to find something that looked decent to while away a Friday night.
How pleasantly surprised I was with the way it turned out. The story is engaging and difficult to watch in equal measure. Norton is brilliant as the protagonist, while Arterton is believable as the victim who realises she's been had. Rather than thinking the other victims are just stupid for being sucked in, you realise how understandable it could be.
Credit to the director. This is a worryingly realistic portrayal and kept me engaged for the 2 hour runtime.
