About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, romantic chase story with moral gray areas and a quiet, reflective feel, similar to The Limey or Live Flesh; Not for you if you need fast action or tidy realism.
Pros: tense moral thriller; unusual romance; beautiful Italian scenery | Cons: slow, quiet pacing; far-fetched premise; ambiguous, artsy tone
