It's a shame this one isn't getting more attention. It's really cool! I kept seeing David Mackenzie talk about it during Cineplex pre-shows over the last month, describing it as a throwback to 70s thrillers, with a touch of noir. I can always get behind something that draws from either sub-genre, let alone both. I love the analog, methodical approach taken with Riz Ahmed's character. All of the clicks and beeps really add to the atmosphere of paranoia that permeates the film. No spoilers here, but the noir inspiration really becomes apparent the deeper you get into it.
Watched at the International Village Cineplex. Second of my $5 ticket Labour Day weekend double feature, following Together. This made up for what Together was lacking.
