A good, solid thriller. There were a few things that seemed very coincidental, but most were traps planted in the script and explained later (some quite shockingly).
Hours later, there was one technical point I questioned and am not sure it holds up—I’d have to see that scene again to verify. But as I read some screenwriter somewhere say (though I can’t find the quote right now), they don’t care what flaws the audience may think they find afterwards as long as it emotionally works during the film. And that’s what happened here.
