Her mania when stuck in the bilges of the barge to avoid capture is palpable, as are many of the perilous scenarios she must face as her attempt at repatriation gathers pace. Talking of pace, the film moves along well with a sparing amount of dialogue that allows us to feel like we, too, have some skin in her game.
