The synopsis for Whiplash has my attention. Is it best to go in knowing very little?

Caoimhe, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

Whiplash is one I am weighing up. I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.

Sinead, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

For anyone considering Whiplash: This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.
