I thought I would feel some kind of connection to the themes and the main character based on the premise. Instead, the vibe of the film didn’t match what I expected or maybe what the film itself was trying to be. Visually, it aims for a stylish look, but it ends up feeling dull and disconnected from the ideas it’s trying to sell. The pacing never settles into a consistent tone. It keeps shifting without carrying the same level of tension forward, and I couldn’t tell whether that came from the directing or the acting. Either way, something keeps breaking the flow, so the film never manages to hold onto its own atmosphere. In the end, it’s not that the ideas are bad it’s that the execution never aligns with them.
