The film captures a raw, unforgiving atmosphere that heightens the tension with each scene. The pacing feels uneven at times, but it lends to the chaotic world these characters inhabit. Themes of morality and survival are explored through an ambiguous lens, making you question the choices of both leads. Performances feel grounded, especially from the leads whose chemistry brings a certain authenticity to their morally dubious alliance. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the film's intense moments. It's unique in how it challenges the audience's perception of justice and redemption amidst its dark narrative.
