Simply Perfect
Boring
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
