About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a British crime thriller with dark humor, a one-night spiral of bad decisions, and a low-budget, gritty vibe similar to Run All Night or The Matador; Not for you if you need realism and a tightly written plot.
Pros: darkly comic thrills; strong lead performances; tense road-movie energy | Cons: thin character development; uneven pacing; rushed, divisive ending
