Mathmatics, Oxford, John Hurt and Elijah Wood… sounded appealing enough! Alas, it just wasn’t great. The dialogue is stilted and just badly written at times. The mystery element is way too far-fetched, too.

Disappointing.

Despite John Hurt and Elijah Wood, this is a culled effort, combining Donna Tartt’s excellent school-times crime-novel “The Secret History” and “A Beautiful Mind”. Too bad this is full of wordplay in the worst sense, paired with little knowledge of how serial-killers work. This is uninspired, badly directed, tiresome and littered with characters that confuse and – at best – made me laugh at all the wrong places. Do avoid.
