Then Eric enters, this conman with such charisma that you can't help but get swept up in it. The film captures that intoxicating lure of a life filled with risk and deception. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as Jonathan's choices spiral. Performances are solid, especially the chemistry between the leads.
