About This Movie

Control (2023) dives into an intense narrative that captures the chaos of modern technology and political intrigue. The pacing feels relentless as we follow Stella Simmons, portrayed with a certain raw edge, caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse through London's streets. It's not just about the action; there's this palpable tension in the air, with the self-driving car becoming a character in itself. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of her choices, especially that affair with the Prime Minister, which adds layers to her predicament. The practical effects used in the car chases give a gritty realism that often seems hard to find in today's digital-heavy landscape. It’s a wild ride that keeps you guessing, not just about the hijacker’s motives but about Stella’s own sense of control.
