Retirement

About This Movie

So, 'Retirement' is an interesting dive into the psyche of a contract killer. The film's atmosphere is pretty heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really fits the theme of someone trying to escape their past. Pacing can be a bit slow, but it allows for some genuine moments of introspection. The performances, especially from the lead, have a rawness that feels very grounded, almost like you’re peering into someone's real-life struggle. There’s an intriguing use of practical effects that adds a gritty feel to the action sequences, making them feel more impactful. It's distinct because it doesn't glamorize the life of a hitman; instead, it forces you to face the consequences of such a lifestyle. Not your typical action flick for sure.
