About
If you enjoy intense, dialogue-driven survival thrillers where friendship turns into a pressure-cooker, this could work for you; Not for you if you hate bickering characters, slow burn pacing, or ambiguous endings like The Ledge.
Pros: tense survival setup; strong two-hander acting; thought-provoking mood | Cons: talky and repetitive; unlikeable leads for some; divisive ambiguous ending
