But I still think this is Zahler's best effort yet as he is really becoming a master of storytelling, pacing, dialogue, etc. This is evidenced in how willing he is to extend scenes (e.g., the slow boil of the standoff at the junkyard) and slowly ratchet up the tension to unbearable levels.

Just watched it. Wow, what a grimy intense movie.
Definitely my favourite of Zahler's 3 so far.
Please keep posting your reviews, I really enjoy them.
