    This did a lot with a little. There's way more going on in this one than meets the eye. I appreciated the careful air of mystery.

    Achieves an ambitious level of tension. The script pulls it off, slowly unfolding and managing to land some massive set pieces. Gripping performances all around. They're tackling some BIG themes in this film, gracefully. I think this movie calls back to 90's and 2000's thrillers, and I wish there were more movies like this being made these days. I also just appreciate the somewhat formal but very cinematic camerawork on display here.

    No. No, no, no, this is bad you guys. Feels like chatGPT wrote the script. How am I bored by tornadoes 20 mins in? Nauseating needle drops. This is the bottom of the barrel in terms of nostalgia looting.

    I kinda just wanted to watch Mads and company drunkenly dance around for two hours. But of course this is actually a "very serious" film. Still loved it, highly recommend.
