Rabidity

About This Movie

Rabidity, from 2016, weaves a gritty tale of crime and friendship that feels raw and unrefined. Shahrokh and Siavash, the central duo, navigate a murky underworld, and their dynamic is quite compelling, really. There's a palpable tension that hangs over their cons, especially with Shahrokh's gambling addiction adding a layer of desperation. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of mirrors the chaotic lives they lead. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of impending doom, especially as their plans spirals out of control. It’s not flashy, but there’s a charm in its practical effects and the performances feel authentic, capturing the turmoil within these characters. It's distinctive in how it portrays the moral ambiguities of crime.
