This was such a great tense, claustrophobic thriller. I was really sucked into this story, of a young woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) being held captive in an underground bunker by a paranoid conspiracy theorist (John Goodman), telling her that the air is toxic outside due to a chemical attack, and she can’t decide whether to escape outdoors in case he is lying, or being trapped with his unpredictable wrath as a captor if the air is unbreathable out there. Goodman was so chilling and unnerving, and it’s amazing how terrifying he can be when he’s just quiet and staring down someone. And I’ve always thought Winstead was a great actress who has blown me away in several of her roles, yet she remains pretty underrated in terms of popular actresses. I really loved this film a lot, it’s an excellent tight thriller.
