Momentum is sustained from first scene to last. The director knows how to give the viewer breathing room without losing tension — and that's valuable in the genre.
Watches in one breath. Plot logic is secondary — what matters here is movement and rhythm, and that's all in order.
For genre fans — essential viewing. For those looking for something deeper — possibly not the film.
