About This Movie

You really feel the chaos and panic through James and Lisa's frantic attempts to reach their daughter, Abi. The pacing feels organic, like you're experiencing it in real-time, which heightens the tension. It’s not about the bomb itself, but rather the ripple effect it has on ordinary lives.
