The screenplay is not nearly as clever as it thinks it is, basically hiding its truths while treading water so that it can surprise us at the end.

Depth is replaced by lots of closeups of his face and distorted shots of him looking contemplative.

This silly thrill-ride is much more fun than it has any right to be.

Cronenberg's creativity is what leads to a movie like this feeling so disappointing as the final credits begin to roll.
