About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow, atmospheric mafia drama that leans into silence and moral unease more than action, somewhat in the vein of Drive; Not for you if you need fast pacing and clear answers.
Pros: moody, original crime tale; strong lead performances; suspenseful, quiet tension | Cons: very slow pacing; minimal dialogue; unclear character motives
