About This Movie

Cuttlefish dives into a gritty underworld, where the stark contrast between the hitman's cold profession and his unexpected emotional awakening creates a heavy atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as the protagonist's conflicted feelings surface. It’s interesting how the narrative explores themes of redemption and the struggle against one's nature. The practical effects used during the hit scenes offer a raw, unfiltered view of violence, which complements the story's bleak tone. Performances are striking, with the lead capturing an unsettling mix of detachment and vulnerability. It’s a dark journey, but it has those quiet moments that linger, really making you ponder over choices and consequences. Not the typical hitman flick, that's for sure.
