About This Movie

The setup is pretty unique; they stumble upon some treasure, which triggers all kinds of chaos. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially when the wronged character from the past comes after them.

The pacing feels off-kilter at times, which oddly works in favor of the story, creating this sense of unease. The performances are solid, especially how the teens convey their desperation and thrill-seeking. The practical effects used in the chase scenes bring a gritty realism that’s hard to ignore.
