CriticsCritics: 91
AudienceAudience: 7.8

A private surveillance expert makes a living recording other people’s conversations while keeping his own life tightly guarded. After monitoring a couple, he becomes troubled by what he believes may happen to them and must weigh his professional obligations against his growing sense of responsibility.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like quiet, tense thrillers about paranoia, privacy, and moral choices; Not for you if you want fast action or clear answers throughout.
