    A slow burn but so good. Very psychological. The religious elements and found footage style come together amazingly

    A gripping thriller, from title card to end credits. So cerebral.

    Lets start with the cinematography. So much tension, symbolism, and meaning. While not groundbreaking, it plays in the atmosphere and plot points very well.

    The anachronous storytelling keeps the viewer engaged, and drip feeds information at just the right pace. Switching perspectives made the narractive so exciting. A few parallel shots draw the comparison between amy and nick.

    Repeating the first shot as the last shot is such delicious…

    Absolute peak.

    Al Pacino and Robert Deniro come together for an absolutely incredible performance.

    The dynamic between the two is electric and just amazing to see. Two men on opposite sides of the law, yet similar in many ways.

    Awesome action sequences, incredible storytelling, and cinematography.
    Truly a legacy performance for Pacino and DeNiro.

    Deeply personal, and wildly explosive at the same time, strikes a wonderful balance between exciting heist action, personal dynamics, and storytelling.
