The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, perfectly capturing the plight of a man pushed to the edge by mounting debts and family strife. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to really feel each moment of anxiety as the story unfolds over those intense 14 hours. The practical effects are grounded, lending an air of authenticity to the bank heist.
