The pacing is quite deliberate, almost methodical, which mirrors the slow grind of bureaucratic processes. The atmosphere feels heavy, underscored by a sense of urgency as time runs out against the statute of limitations. The performances are earnest, particularly from the lead, who embodies the struggle of maintaining integrity in a flawed system. Practical effects and a realistic depiction of office life add a layer of authenticity that pulls you in, making you reflect on the moral complexities of tax evasion and justice.
