And leads Sarah Cunningham and Robert Nolan carry the movie just beautifully, even when the story turns quite absurd (but intentionally so) for a bit. And add to this very fluid camerawork and an atmospheric directorial effort that makes the most out of very little (two people on a rooftop), and you've got yourself a rather impressive movie!<p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2014"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
