This one really caught me by surprise. It's great and what I love about is how the whole time you feel so uneasy watching it without a drop of bloodshed. There's such a great dynamic between the three leads that they're able to keep the tension going from beginning to end. Joel Edgerton plays this loner who reunites with someone he went to high school with. As in all movies, he oversteps his boundaries and when they tell him to leave them alone, he doesn't leave with dignity. After he's gone, he exposes a lot of truth about the husband (Jason Bateman) to his wife (Rebecca Hall) that she might have been better off without knowing. There's a definite twist at the end that's no so much as preposterous so much as something that makes you go back and rethink everything that's happened. It's a great thriller and definitely one of the more underrated movies of the Summer.
3/4
