Conclusion: 3/5
This is also a film about four people in a house not being able to trust each other. Adapted from a novel by Rumaan Alam. I really enjoyed this film and thought it was acted brilliantly and with so much conviction. Apparently, Denzel Washington was cast but dropped out and was replaced by Mahershala Ali. A really clever well made film. This film was shown in the cinemas for one week before going onto Netflix. The themes include race, class, identity, paranoia, politics, survival and trust.
