🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Steve Jodrell constructs a narrative as a deliberate descent from civil law into primal justice. He explores the fragility of societal order in an isolated community where authority is corrupt and violence is endemic.
What lingers after viewing is a grim, unflinching portrait of vengeance as duty, not release. The film delivers a punch of bleak righteousness that is hard to shake. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch alone at night to fully absorb its tense, claustrophobic atmosphere.
