The pacing is relentless, making it feel like a chase sequence from start to finish. The dynamic between him and Idris Elba's Sean Briar really drives the film – it’s like a cat-and-mouse game where neither character is what they initially seem. There’s a rawness to the action, not overdone with CGI, which adds a layer of realism. The themes of survival and betrayal are intriguing, and the atmosphere is distinctly French, blending crime and espionage in a way that feels fresh.
