Coup 53 is a very strong film rated 8.0/10. Great direction and performances make this one well worth adding to your watchlist.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

Released in 2019, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: any evening when you want quality cinema with no compromises.
