About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a romantic thriller that gradually tightens into a tense survival story, with a charismatic menace in the background, similar in vibe to The Next Three Days; Not for you if you expect a detailed biopic or nonstop action.
Pros: tense slow-burn payoff; strong central performance; intriguing outsider viewpoint | Cons: uneven pacing; thin romance setup; shaky realism at times
