About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tight, high-tension thriller that stays mostly in one car and keeps moving, similar in spirit to Ambulance or Kaleidoscope; Not for you if you need big set pieces, lots of locations, or a complex plot.
Pros: tense, fast-paced ride; unique in-car focus; strong lead performance | Cons: thin, simple story; lots of phone shouting; limited outside-the-car scenes
