So, I recently stumbled upon this film, 'Toast' from 2017. It's got this gritty underbelly vibe, you know? Phil, our protagonist, tries to navigate the murky waters of being a hired thug but, man, things go sideways real quick thanks to a miscommunication. The pacing is interesting; it keeps you on your toes without rushing through the beats. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the performances have a raw quality that pulls you in. There's a practical effect here and there that really enhances the gritty aesthetic, making it feel grounded. It's not your typical crime narrative, more of a character study wrapped in chaos, which is what gives it that distinct flavor.
