So, 'Stanley' is this gritty little drama that dives into the dark corners of desperation and rage. Pedro, our main guy, is a refrigerator technician who hits rock bottom after losing his job. The way he goes off the deep end—murdering two Army reps with Stanley screwdrivers—has this raw, visceral weight to it. The pacing is pretty relentless, driving home that sense of spiraling despair. The practical effects are understated, yet they pack a punch when needed. It's not flashy, but the performances are quite gripping, especially how they portray that descent into chaos. It leaves you with this lingering sense of dread, making you think about the themes of hopelessness and the lengths one might go to in a broken system. Definitely a peculiar slice of cinema that sticks with you.
