Bug
As Ned said, constant acceleration from 0-60 with no B-plots. You can just put people in a room and make it spin.
Ashley Judd carries the audience throughout and Michael Shannon keeps everything on edge. Together, they see-saw the scenes pretty well.
It's strange that - at least from what I've seen - 20th century conspiracy theories were solitary fights, while 21st century conspiracy theories are mob justice. The idea of a Peter being alone in his problems - without a cadre of online supporters - is almost quaint.
That tinfoil bug-light blood-as-black final set piece was about as cool of a practical effects staging as I've ever seen. I want to stand in that room but not touch anything ever.
