Review:  I personally enjoyed the film only because like the main character, I remained curious about the fate of the female character and wanted to know what happened. It is not a overly heady thriller and is an easy watch, the end is a good one.

Some of my favorite parts. 

- Raymonds practice with aubducting women, it was a unique perspective to see him try to work out the best way to do it. I also find it interesting that he took a scientifc approach to the task, likely because of his background. 

- Rex as a character I will admit felt a bit flat, I was much more interested in Raymond. I think that is to do with all the screen time he had compared to Rex. 

- I am slowly getting into foregin lanauge films and I love the transition between Dutch and French, made it feel natural and realistic. 

- The end, I won’t spoil here either just because I know someone might try and read this ahead of time, was kind of what I expected but not in the way I imagined. Even if you ‘saw it coming’ how it happened I think wasn’t hinted at. 

- Just adds to me fear of strange people asking for help at rest stops. Stay safe peeps!!
