The film’s pace feels a bit uneven at times, but it captures a raw, almost palpable tension throughout. The younger protagonist's journey alongside his older brother is a classic tale of innocence lost, and you really get a sense of the moral ambiguity that surrounds their choices. The performances have a rugged authenticity, especially from the lead. What stands out are the practical effects used in the action sequences; they give an edge that today's CGI often lacks.
