Iris

About This Movie

Iris (2020) has a gritty vibe that pulls you in right from the start. The action is relentless, with practical effects that feel refreshingly raw compared to a lot of the CGI-heavy stuff you see nowadays. The pacing is a bit uneven, which some might find off-putting, but I think it adds to the tension. The atmosphere is heavy, a kind of bleak world that the characters navigate through. Performances are decent - not groundbreaking, but they hold their own, especially in the more intense scenes. There’s a theme of survival that runs deep, and it’s interesting how they explore moral choices under duress. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s something compelling about it, you know?
