Socrates

About This Movie

So, 'Socrates' from '96, huh? It's a pretty gritty crime flick that pulls from the 'Gokudō Socrates' tale. The atmosphere is heavy, and you can feel the tension simmering throughout. The pacing... well, it’s kind of a slow burn, which works for its themes of morality and survival in the underbelly of society. The practical effects aren't over the top, but they do the job well enough, adding a rawness to the overall feel. And the performances? They bring a certain depth to the characters, making you think about choices and consequences. It’s not your traditional crime narrative, really, and that's what gives it a unique edge.
