Going In

About This Movie

Going In (2023) nails the gritty vibe of late '80s Toronto, capturing that raw, pulsing underbelly of the city. It’s all about the fallout of friendship, set against the backdrop of a drug epidemic that feels hauntingly real. The pacing is tight, and the action sequences are grounded, not overly stylized—you can tell they wanted to keep it authentic. The chemistry between Leslie and Reuben, former best buds pulled back together by circumstance, really hits that emotional core. It’s not just another action flick; it digs deep into themes of loyalty and loss. The performances have that edge of desperation, and the practical effects used in the intense scenes give it an old-school feel that’s often missing in modern thrillers.
