About
You’ll like this if you enjoy tense, fate-driven character pieces with big emotional stakes and a layered story over time; Not for you if you want nonstop action like Logan Lucky or a straightforward crime ride like The Town.
Pros: gripping character drama; strong performances; human stakes | Cons: slow pacing shifts; mixed momentum late; some tedium complaints
