The film captures a raw atmosphere, a mix of tension and desperation, really pulling you into Rory's mindset. The pacing has this gritty rhythm, slowly building up to the chaos. The performances feel genuine and it’s a fascinating portrayal of how one moment can lead to a series of terrible decisions. It's striking how the film manages to balance its crime elements with a drama that feels personal, almost intimate.
