It's a shlocky thriller, filled with ridiculous twists and baiting cliffhangers. But it's also an exceptional rendition of that format, a properly propulsive, fun and engaging romp with some darkness under its hood.

A superb central trio of Denise Gough, Holliday Grainger and Ambika Mod do well to elevate a perfunctory script.
