Warning: Spoilers
I have mixed feelings. I expected a gut wrenching family drama / thriller and what I got was... reality.

The title simply can not be justified. Spoiler: there's not a single killing in this movie.

Interestingly the suspense is there during the whole film even the ending - mainly thanks to the strange, unnerving sound effects. That part is brilliant btw: throughout the movie we hear sounds that should simply not be there (e.g.: car doors slamming, various knocks and bumps) and subconsciously we're trying to decipher what could've been the source. This creates uncertainty and nervousness in the viewer.

Some parts are really well made and highly realistic (e.g.: the car ride with the kids to the park).

Some other parts are a bit wtf (e.g.: lawyer guy effortlessly knocking out manual laborer guy who is carrying heavy things all day).

Also, the wife is a bitch, I would've long decided, ok, let's divorce if I were in the husband's shoes. This half separated, half together, we're trying to solve it while we're sleeping with other people is a recipe for disaster...

A disaster that the movie simply skips. Due to an unseen turn of events the couple get back together and every problem is swept back under the carpet. Nothing is solved, and the movie just ends.
