This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
