About This Movie

So, Norman (2023) is this gritty crime drama that digs deep into the psyche of its characters. It’s got a moody atmosphere, thanks to some really careful cinematography that plays with shadows and lighting. The pacing's a bit uneven at times, which actually adds to the tension as Detective Norman Brook and his friend unravel the mystery behind these chilling murders. The practical effects during the more intense scenes stand out as well, which is refreshing in this age of CGI. Performances are solid, especially from the leads who capture that sense of urgency and dread. There’s a weight to the themes of friendship and betrayal that lingers, making it more than just a standard thriller.
