Sure, there are little things that make me go hmmm, like the vaguely accusatory way in which Gwyneth's patient zero is addressed or even Law's journalist (Law, nonetheless, gives my favourite performance) but it's a solid feature and expertly directed, I think.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.com
