The plot revolves around detectives De Cock and Vledder, who are embroiled in a case that kicks off with an armored truck heist, only to spiral into a series of murders. The film's pacing feels almost languid at times, letting the suspense simmer as the detectives piece together the clues. There's a certain rawness to the performances, especially in how the leads interact with each other and the secondary characters. It’s not just about the crime—there’s an underlying theme of moral ambiguity that makes you question the characters’ motives.
