This was great! Tense in all the right places with enough humor and outrage at needed intervals to release the pressure. Clooney and Roberts were their usual solid selves, and I found myself wondering just what that Jack O’Connell had been up to prior to this.*
Cost: $4.00
Where watched: Laurelhurst Theater
*It turns out that he was in ’71 and Starred Up, both of which were reviewed on Flimspotting and O’Connell’s performance was enthusiastically recommended (possibly to a gushing level).

From what I read on IMDB, this movie sounds pretty interesting. I looked up Jack O’Connell (haven’t seen him in anything) and I think it’s amusing that the UK has their shows that pretty much every actor is on sooner or later, including a medical drama and a police drama. O’Connell has been on both.
I really enjoyed this movie as well. As you say, its a great balance of intensity, humor, and what-if. Also a very strong cast!
