thrilling, Woods is best psychopath ever, identify with Dennehy

wtyson1

This movie is disturbing.  Starts out almost as a "procedural" but grows more thrilling as you begin to discover what the Woods character really is. I identified with the Dennehy character, with his initial skepticism, and growing realization that Woods is what he said he is, and worse.  Woods nails the role, the psychopath with pride in his workmanship, with a three dimensional performance that is gripping and frightening.  Dennehy is wonderful in the complementary role.  The chemistry between them is exquisite.  I think this movie will, in time, receive more recognition.

score 10/10
