About
You’ll likely like this if you want a suspenseful, human-focused true-story thriller about a community under pressure, with an intense manhunt and heartfelt aftermath; Not for you if recent real-life tragedies feel too painful to dramatize, or if you prefer lighter disaster tales like Deepwater Horizon or United 93.
Pros: suspenseful and gripping; respectful tone; strong performances | Cons: tense subject matter; pacing uneven; some felt insensitive
