About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, violent road thriller with uneasy character dynamics and serial-killer tension; Not for you if you dislike grim subject matter, slow stretches, or graphic menace like in Copycat.
Pros: tense road-trip setup; creepy standout performance; stylish, energetic vibe | Cons: slow pacing at times; implausible, clichéd plot; uneven acting choices
