About
You may like this if you can handle intense, realistic survival dramas with a harsh emotional pull and strong performances; Not for you if unrelenting cruelty and bleak subject matter are dealbreakers, even more than in Bad Genius.
Pros: gripping true-to-life story; powerful lead performance; immersive, haunting atmosphere | Cons: very grim tone; brutal violence; emotionally draining
