No pun intended - hopefully you like wordplay or if not can give me a pass on this. Not too many jokes in the movie itself, which is more serious and sinister in a way. And also tries to outsmart the viewer by doing timeline jumps and editing out the things it doesn't want us to see. Very nicely done one might say.
Acting wise it does feel like it is slacking a bit from some performers (shouting is not always equivalent to showing the right emotion or conveying it), but you won't watch this expecting Academy Award performances anyway (I'd hope that is). There are some nice twists along the way and you'll keep guessing ... I guess. It's all quite fine ... and could have done without the last zinger before the credits rolled ... nice landscapes and a story that sort of makes sense with some usual suspects ...
