About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, drug-soaked heist that spirals into intense violence and chaos, in the vein of Harsh Times or Dead Presidents; Not for you if you dislike graphic brutality, nudity, or a slow build.
Pros: manic heist energy; raw violence; strong villain presence | Cons: slow first half; heavy drug content; unpleasant nihilistic tone
