As Baltimore rings in the New Year with fireworks, a sniper shoots through 29 people before the police discover the man's whereabouts. In the panic that ensues with the evacuation of the building where the shooter is hiding, Agent Eleanor [Shailine Woodley] is the one who makes sure that as many people as possible leave the premises are filmed. FBI Commander Lammark [Ben Mendelsohn] decides to involve Eleanor in the investigation, also because she has a past that may match the perpetrator's profile. Opens superbly and smoothly shifts between action, thriller and drama thanks to a screenplay that intelligently defies convention, constantly surprises and touches on a lot of relevant social themes in a subtle, unpretentious way. Woodley and Mendelsohn are sublime in the leading roles and the denouement is a nail biter that can hardly be matched.

Not a spectacular film, but well put together.
the genre is indeed well chosen as a crime/drama
thought the lead actress (Shailene Woodley) played a fine role despite the fact that I didn't know her.
after reading her filmography, she had also played in an excellent movie about 10 years ago, namely "The Fault in Our Stars" (2014).
well worth a look..

Gun massacres have been a plague of epidemic proportions in the United States for many years. Often referred to as mental health problems. This crime drama tries to piggyback on that trend. This is only poorly reflected, because the emphasis is often on a competition between investigative services for competence. Apart from the denouement, it rarely gets exciting. Not bad, but not very special either.
