The detective here isn’t just chasing down a robbery; he’s also caught in the web of trying to steer a young man away from a life of crime. There’s an intriguing duality in the narrative that balances the dark undertones of criminal investigation with a glimmer of hope for redemption. Pacing is steady, allowing for a deep exploration of character motivations, while the practical effects carry a raw authenticity that enhances the viewing experience.
