About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a twisty small-town crime mystery with dry laughs and a reverse-told structure that rewards attention, like The Score or Layer Cake; Not for you if you dislike non-linear stories or slower pacing.
Pros: clever reverse-day structure; dark, dry humor; solid script | Cons: can feel confusing; uneven acting for some; tension sometimes dulled
