The pacing shifts between moments of dark humor and intense situations, giving it a unique rhythm. The atmosphere feels gritty yet comedic, balancing the absurdity of the situation with the genuine fear of consequence. The performances are engaging; you can really sense the desperation and naiveté of the grads contrasted with the seasoned criminals.
