Schneider vs Bax

Started this morning's marathon with a Dutch film about two contract killers who eventually discover that they've been set up to kill each other.

There's lots to recommend it -- the main location is an isolated cabin in the middle of a wetland area, the acting is uniformly good and the script is fine, but I left it with a feeling that it needed to be a lot tighter than it actually was. It felt like it needed to be pitched somewhere between a black comedy and farce and it couldn't quite get there.

If this shows up on a streaming service, it'd be worth some of your time; otherwise, no.
