SEEN 7 SEPT
Went in for the genre thrills and mostly got them, though the middle section sags noticeably. The setup is genuinely gripping — strong hook, clear stakes, well-drawn central conflict. Execution in the back half can't quite match the promise of the opening thirty minutes. Technical work, particularly editing during the tense sequences, is consistently strong throughout. A supporting performance nearly steals the whole film in limited screen time. Not the best in its genre this year, but comfortably above average.

I keep coming back to that one sequence near the interval.
The dialogue writing in particular was really tight.
Music was the real hero of this one.
The writing is sharper than people gave it credit for.
Completely agree — that scene stuck with me too.
Been recommending this to everyone who'll listen.
The background score did all the heavy lifting in the emotional bits.
The climax divided everyone I know. Where did you land on it?
This aged really well, rewatched it last month.
Honestly this deserved a much wider release.
Still thinking about the ending days later.
The cinematography deserved way more conversation than it got.
The supporting cast is what makes this work.

The rating feels fair, maybe even a touch generous.
Some of the VFX was rough but the story carried it.

Caught this on OTT last night, your review was spot on.
Solid watch, though I'd rank the director's previous one higher.
Adding this to my list based on your review.
