💬 Quick Review:
Christopher Nolan at his best, though he never has a bad movie. This slow burning thriller of a detective solving a teen murder and physiologically breaking down in the process is a piece of art. Al Pacino’s exhausted performance throughout the movie really captures the mood of him mentally unravelling. Such high tension throughout this is some great storytelling.
