The movie's unlikely setup is full of potential, but the story's evolution and conclusion taste like stale leftovers.

Rapp proves deft enough at exploring the greatest of all mysteries, people's personalities, to keep us squirming and mesmerized from start to finish.

The screenplay doesn't sufficiently develop its ideas into a coherent whole.

Examines the shadow side of a healthy sense of self-esteem — where some individuals try to control others and a few are willing to be devoured by them.
