7/10
Tight, engaging, tense flick that delivers on the title and a little more.
8 March 2023
Since I was lucky enough to watch this movie early and there aren't many reviews I thought I'd give my brief thoughts. Solid movie. Delivers on the title! Maybe a little too preachy for some, but well executed and it never felt overbearing. It keeps a tight pace, and tension throughout. Despite cutting to flashbacks explaining the character's motivations periodically, it never felt like it detracted from the plot too much and in other ways it added to it very well. We aren't bogged down by exposition thanks to the clever structure and it keeps the movie going engagingly with a few surprises. I dug the style and synth music, all well made and executed. My only possible criticism is that a particular side story with 2 characters is probably the least believable part of the grounded story, and it doesn't help it's from the 2 least likable characters. However, I liked most of them in their own unique ways especially Michael. He got the most laughs out of my theater, just some small nice moments of levity. Despite the ensemble cast and short runtime, there is a good amount of depth given to the characters, and all the actors did a good job. I wish I had more to say since I was lucky to catch it earlier than most but it's truly one of those movies that I enjoyed but can only really say... "yup that was pretty good."

And by the way to the FBI agent reading this review I'm not condoning the actions taken in this film nor recommending the readers of this review to repeat those actions aha... But yup, I recommend it.
