The audio mix is excellent. Pay attention to the ambient jungle noises during the Mossbacher dinner scene—the crickets get louder as the conversation gets worse.

Shane (Jake Lacy) has officially moved from “annoying” to “dangerous.” His obsessive crusade against hotel manager Armond (Murray Bartlett) over the room mix-up is no longer about the Pineapple Suite—it’s about ego. Meanwhile, Rachel (Alexandra Daddario) starts to see the gilded cage closing around her. Her conversation with Nicole on the beach is a masterclass in foreshadowing.
