Brad Anderson is a solid director, but I have no clue how this made it into theaters. It's not a terrible film, but it's pretty damn mediocre and if this had been the 90s, it would've been average shelf filler aimed at the local video rental store. I'm sure we can do better than give films like this a theater release.
The setup is simple but interesting enough. Two virtually deaf people are locked up in an abandoned apartment building and need to stay out of the hands of a gang of criminals. The performances are rather poor though (Kinnaman can't lead a film) and the plot is generic at best. It's OK filler for a streamer service, but unworthy of the big screen.
