Three leads do well into a repetitive script that is unable to maintain the tension its actors inject into the movie. Nick Stahl as Yuri was quiet menacing here and he chews the scenery whenever the script allows him to. Huisman and Bracey also do well and bring in the much needed tension in the movie though at times they felt a little too macho for this role instead of commoners. Janusz Kaminski is able to create some really good tense moments but the concept to screenplay is very generic which brings this movie down. Not a bad way to start 2021.
