The Margins

About This Movie

The Margins is an interesting slice of early 2000s cinema, really carries this gritty, raw vibe throughout. Dragor, our lead, is this petty thief caught in a web of unexpected connections when he bumps into Gastos, who’s quite the piece of work - a former Secret Service guy turned notorious criminal. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer, and the atmosphere is thick with a sense of inevitability. It's got a lot of practical effects that elevate the realism of the scenarios these characters find themselves in. The performances feel very grounded, almost like the actors are living their roles. There's a lot to say about the moral gray areas it navigates, making it distinctive in its storytelling approach.
