About
You may like this if you want a dark, sexually charged thriller that leans into uneasy mood more than a tight whodunit, in the vein of Jade or The Black Dahlia; Not for you if you dislike explicit content or slow pacing.
Pros: strong lead performance; moody, gritty atmosphere; provocative erotic edge | Cons: slow, plodding pace; thin mystery focus; messy, familiar payoff
