How it scared people
The vibe
Six chapters shown wildly out of order, which sounds like a gimmick until you notice it's doing the real work — every reshuffle reassigns your sympathy. Giovanni Ribisi shot it on 35mm as his first job behind a camera and it looks like money. Two actors, one stretch of road, no fat on it anywhere.
