About
If you want a gritty, emotional crime thriller where a strained parent-child bond grows under constant danger, this delivers; Not for you if you dislike bleak violence, slow-burn stretches, or a finale some found uneven, like Calm with Horses.
Pros: powerful emotional core; standout lead performances; tense, gritty journey | Cons: predictable story beats; pacing dips at times; ending feels overblown
