very interesting if you are not bothered by the plotholes

Warning: Spoilers
The movie overall is interesting and the twist at the end is something I didnt expect. Though some questions were answered in the movie, it left a big plot hole. the answered questions I had: 1. If the cop is the husband, why did no one react when she was acting crazy? it explained later on that the cop talked to the doctor beforehand. 2. It looks too easy for people to impersonate someone at the airport. Well, depending on the culture of the country, probably. 3. Why is it too easy for the cop to abandon his duties by releasing Vera after she was arrested? She is his wife, so probably given the privileged. 4. Even if you are a cop, you cannot just give away peoples address even if they are your family? again, this can only be answered by people in their country.

Questionable plots: 1. The cop talk about his life infront of Angel looks kind of awkward. I don't think anyone would open up just like that. 2. The professor is definitely a solipsist, if not, she is full of s***. 3. What is with the 72 hours? Who came up with that and what is the rationale? 4. The boy just reported a murder and police did not even check the house or use a luminol test or anything(like calling the family) to confirm what the boy is saying but apparently, they were able to check the credit card transactions(which could be done by anyone) of the murdered wife in a short time(which I think requires a subpoena to check). 5. And the biggest plot I think is when Vera woke up and found herself in bed where everything is back to normal. She went to see the camera and it is not there. It was never there in the first place. So if it was never there, how could she have warned the boy to not go out. Which brings us to square one. The boy is not warned, he gets killed.

Overall, I enjoyed it.
