About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re up for a dark, surreal mix of crime pressure, identity themes, and offbeat humor that can feel dreamlike and unpredictable; Not for you if you want a straightforward sports story like Blindspotting.
Pros: bold surreal tone; dark humor; strong performances | Cons: confusing plot turns; uneven pacing; meaning feels unclear
