The looming threat of Alzheimer's gives this film a really heavy vibe, you know? The pacing is tight, and it creates this palpable tension throughout. It’s all about paranoia, memory loss, and the moral complexities of government secrets. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and carry that weight of a man grappling with his demons while trying to do the right thing. There’s a mix of practical effects that work well, adding to that gritty realism. It has a distinctive tone that lingers long after the credits roll.
