Poison

About This Movie

So, 'Poison' from 2020 - it's a gritty thriller, really captures that dark, oppressive feel. You’ve got Max, this young Russian cop, trying to piece together a string of poison-related deaths. The film dives deep into the underbelly of society, exploring how poverty and aggression simmer beneath the surface. The pacing is deliberate, almost claustrophobic, which adds to the tension. Some practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, enhancing the sense of realism. What stands out is how it intertwines the personal struggles of Max with the broader societal decay. It’s not just another cop story; it's a chilling reflection on modern life in a way that sticks with you. Definitely has a unique edge to it.
