The tension builds nicely as they're caught between the police and a menacing gang, both desperate to get their hands on the tape. The film explores themes of morality and the impact of one's choices, which resonates throughout. It’s not heavily reliant on flashy effects, but the practical effects and grounded performances add to its gritty atmosphere.
