🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a portrait not merely of a gangster, but of a media-savvy figure who builds his own legend, using the press as a weapon. It relies on the chronology of real events to explore the mechanics of creating a folk (anti)hero from the country's most wanted man.
Those who tire of glamorized crime stories will find a raw, relentless chase. What lingers after the credits is the unsettling charisma of a man who made the front page as often as the wanted poster. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch in a dimly lit room late at night to match the film's gritty, relentless pace.
