Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, you can sense his touch in the layered storytelling and complex characters. The pacing keeps you engaged, often balancing tension with quieter moments that flesh out the story. The performances are solid, particularly in how they capture the moral ambiguity of the characters. It’s got a raw feel, using practical effects that lend a certain realism to the violence. The themes of loyalty and betrayal are explored in a way that’s not always straightforward, making it stand out from your typical fare of the time. Definitely a film that sparks conversation.
