IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

James McAvoy is very much central to this nail-biting mystery, with the actor not being given a script at any point during filming, meaning that all of his improvised actions are real as he tries to piece things together at the same time as the audience.
