The pacing is relentless, jumping from Bangkok's dark corners to the icy expanse of Siberia with barely a breath in between. You can tell the budget didn’t allow for lavish sets, but the practical effects do a lot of heavy lifting, giving it a rugged charm. The performances can be a bit uneven, but there’s a certain earnestness that adds to its appeal, pulling you right into its wild world.
