Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Grünberg directed Rambo (2008) and brings that same brutal efficiency — this is essentially 'What if Rambo was a mom and 30 minutes shorter.'
The 'war hero turned criminal underdog' trope peaked with 2000s action cinema; this feels like a deliberate throwback to that post-9/11 paranoid thriller era.
