The film's atmosphere is thick with unease, a slow burn that masterfully conveys the weight of family loyalty and criminal legacy. Practical effects are understated but impactful, emphasizing the emotional stakes rather than relying on over-the-top action. The pacing leans into the psychological, allowing the viewer to sit with Johnnie's internal struggle. It’s a distinctive blend of crime and drama that lingers long after the credits roll.
