About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a short, tense rural thriller with dark humor and a simple cat-and-mouse setup, in the vein of Wheelman; Not for you if you need deep backstory, big action, or a fast pace throughout.
Pros: tense, compact thriller; darkly funny moments; strong lead performance | Cons: thin character depth; uneven kid logic; some find it slow
