About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an understated, drama-leaning thriller about fear and guilt with intense confrontations and uneasy tension; Not for you if you need fast action, likable characters, or clear answers like in The Command.
Pros: tense, claustrophobic ride; strong lead performances; thoughtful trauma themes | Cons: slow, glacial pacing; uneven low-budget feel; thin payoff for some
