This flaccid exercise suggests Williamson should spend less time on storyboards and more time at his laptop.

A wildly uneven and sloppily directed movie, full of clashing tones and undigested bits of superior films.

Helen Mirren's acting stands out in this mean-spirited dark comedy like an original Picasso in a paint-by-numbers art show.

Despite the occasional intelligent flourish, though, the story is irredeemably dumb.

The jokes are deathly flat. There's no 'thrill' to speak of. No scares.

The set-up is delivered with brisk precision, but this dark comedy quickly sputters out, going nowhere for what feels like an eternity.
