She will put her life at risk from both the killer and those who want to keep the killer's identity a mystery....
This movie is directed by Matt Ruskin (Crown Heights) and stars Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean), Carrie Coon (Gone Girl), Chris Cooper (American Beauty), Alessandro Nivola (American Hustle) and Rory Cochrane (Black Mass).
This movie had a lot going for it but falls short of its potential. The premise and storyline are good, especially the ending and recap. The depiction of the era is perfect. The settings, attire and props were all well done. There's also good use of background music to create intensity. Unfortunately, there's really no kills scenes. There's no kills or delivery of what actually happened. This needed to push itself a bit farther in terms of the historical events.
Overall, this ends up being more of a murder mystery than horror/thriller. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend skipping it.
