What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly down on this claustrophobic thriller. The premise of a son trapped in a barrel while his shackled father tries to guide him out sounds tense, but a lot of people found the story thin and the execution dull, with some calling it a slog. A handful did praise the grim, industrial visuals of the abandoned workshop, but that wasn't enough to save it for most.
