Standout Aspects

Acting

Smith's weary charisma carries this whole sinking ship.

Production

Shot in 10 days with that barely-held-together tension visible.

Writing

Dialogue thinks it's Shane Black on a shoestring budget.

Best for:Solo: Perfect for 1AM 'what's the worst that could happen' energy.·Background: Loud enough to half-watch while doom-scrolling.·Friends: Group roast fuel—Roger Guenveur Smith deserves better.
Heads up:Violence: Casual cop-on-cop brutality played as dark comedy.
