After seeing "Legacy", which I loved, I had to see the one other feature Thomas Ikimi directed available on Netflix, which was this early noir thriller. Sadly, watching this was as painful as watching a mediocre student film. The acting was horrid, the direction hammy, the dialogue trite. The premise, though, was thoroughly intriguing. I couldn't turn this off because I had to know what happened and how the characters ended their stories. It was a great plot, and I can see how Ikimi grew into the mature director I saw in "Legacy". 2/5
Limbo on Netflix
