Acting wise I think its Bullocks career best performance. Its not easy carrying a movie essentially by yourself for the majority of the movie. But she pulls it off. Some may feel some of the dialogue is cheesy in places but for me its needed at times to lighten the mood of a mostly tense edge of your seat experience.
Of course this is just my opinion.

You aren't alone in your opinion.
I've seen it three times as well. It is easily my best of 2013, and with no hesitation, in my top 25 all time; possibly in my top 10.
It's Cinematically unprecedented. A gripping, well acted, well structured film, with only two actors carrying the whole thing, and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
