Knight of the City has this gritty realism that I find compelling. It dives into Fares’ chaotic life, where his rise from the bottom is as much about his moral descent as it is about business acumen. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, mirroring his spiraling circumstances. It’s not just a financial collapse; there's a raw exploration of personal failure too, especially in his marriage. The performances carry a weight that pulls you into this world of desperation. There's a certain authenticity to the practical effects used during the more intense moments, giving the drama an edge that's often missing in more polished films. It’s a heavy piece, but it's intriguing how it balances ambition with the cost of success.
