Unruly

About This Movie

Unruly has this raw, gritty vibe that captures Marseille's underbelly perfectly. The film dives into themes of betrayal and despair, really showcasing how Pitou's return home is anything but triumphant. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid at times, which adds to the tension. You really get a sense of the weight of his past decisions. The practical effects, while not flashy, serve the story well, adding a level of realism that enhances the emotional impact. The performances are solid, especially from the lead, whose portrayal of Pitou is both nuanced and haunting. It's not your typical action-drama; there's a real depth here that makes it stand out in a crowded genre.
