“Exit Plan” (** out of four) was a terminally weird and dour story about a man with terminal cancer (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who checks into a hotel with mysterious secrets and that specializes in assistance with elaborate suicide plans (!) and it is there that he confronts his own mortality and questions his own reality and grasp on the life that he has left. Coster-Waldau is first-rate but you know hardly anything about him or his various relationships that film generates nothing but a sense of cold aloofness. Some eerie moments to be sure but you may be planning your own exit plan long before the hour-and-a-half is up.
