The pacing feels just right, with moments of tension and reflection that draw you in. The performances, especially from the lead who witnesses the beating, are raw and compelling. What’s distinctive here is the blend of historical context with a thriller's edge; it’s a haunting reminder of the personal cost of state violence and the struggle for truth. The practical effects aren't flashy but evoke the real brutality of the time, adding to the film's power.
