The performances, especially from the main couple, feel raw and evoke genuine sympathy, which is pretty compelling. There's a real sense of claustrophobia in the prison sequences, heightened by practical effects that, while not always polished, contribute to the gritty tone. It’s distinctive in its exploration of justice and moral ambiguity, leaving you with questions about right and wrong long after the credits roll.
