SOTHAM

About This Movie

Sotham (2020) dives into the gritty underbelly of Sotham City, offering a raw take on crime and morality. With its moody atmosphere, the film unfolds at a deliberate pace, immersing you in Hank's investigation of the Johnsons' murder—a case that tests his principles and the corrupt fabric of the city. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who embodies the naivety and determination of a rookie cop. Practical effects lend a tangible weight to the violent encounters that punctuate the narrative, grounding the action in a seemingly realistic world. There's a palpable tension throughout, and you can feel the weight of the past pressing on this new generation of characters. It may not break new ground, but its distinct tone and character-driven story make it worth a look.
