About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bleak, slow-burn survival thriller about greed and endurance with minimal dialogue and a mostly solo struggle; Not for you if you need fast action, warmth, or a crowd-pleasing ride like Beast.
Pros: intense survival setup; strong lead performance; harsh desert atmosphere | Cons: very slow pace; thin character depth; bleak, depressing tone
