About This Movie

The Beast (2020) directed by Ludovico Di Martino is a gritty dive into the psyche of an unstable Special Forces veteran. The film sets a tense atmosphere right from the start, with an almost palpable sense of urgency as he races against time to save his kidnapped daughter. The pacing is relentless, keeping you on edge, and the themes of rage and redemption are woven throughout without feeling heavy-handed. The practical effects are quite impressive for a low-budget film, adding a rawness to the action scenes. Performances here are solid, especially the lead, who captures that tortured, desperate father vibe just right. It's a distinct mix of crime and drama that feels deeply personal while also commenting on broader issues.

Engaging exploration of a father's desperation.Strong practical effects enhance the realism.Themes of inner turmoil resonate throughout.
