You feel the weight of Eddie's struggle with identity as friendships fracture and new loyalties emerge, quite raw and intense. The pacing—it's like a slow burn that ramp up, leaving you anxious for what's next. The performances are solid, especially from the young lead; he really embodies that hunger for power that ultimately consumes him.
