Johnny Araújo directs a story about Andre, the upper-middle class punk singer who dives headfirst into a world that feels both thrilling and dangerous. The pacing has a frenetic edge, especially during the heist sequences that spiral out of control. The film contrasts Andre's comfortable life with the chaotic lives of his low-class friends, creating a tension that really pulls you in. Performances are authentic, capturing a sense of rebellion and disillusionment. Practical effects are utilized effectively, adding a level of realism that enhances the stakes.
