About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, relationship-driven crime story with simmering tension and a long, pressured hideout, closer in spirit to Set It Off than a slick caper; Not for you if you want nonstop action or a straightforward plot.
Pros: tense hideout drama; strong lead chemistry; vivid 60s mood | Cons: slow middle stretch; confusing, choppy pacing; uneven character focus
