The sinister underpinnings of the plot send us off in so many different and disparate directions that the concern -- as with the controversial finale of that ABC mystery --...
It’s worth reiterating that The Third Day is far too well-crafted and meticulous to feel thrown together (props once again to director Philippa Lowthorpe, who leverages every bit of atmosphere she can muster out of her overcast and gloomy location), and there are consistently strong performances throughout from both the main and featured players.
