Didn’t manage to catch this at the cinema when it released last year so I thought I’d check it out now it’s on Prime. Whilst it does have some decent cinematography, it’s the only thing that had me interested the entire time. Unfortunately the first bad watch of this year.

Nothing really happens. There’s no real character development or anything, just some pretty scenery and “revenge” that kinda just happens. Very weak attempt at the genre

Solid premise that sacrifices believability for its message. Really nice shots and score, but the diologe/acting definitely leaves a bit to be disired. Overall a solid watch but nothing extraordinary.

Loved the premise but definitely a vibe of short film syndrome here. Felt longer and more drawn out than it needed to be or had the budget for
