Offbeat energy pulls the audience into this dramatic thriller, weaving strong themes into a personal drama about a guy whose life is changed by a mysterious stranger.

An interesting take on how trauma is the perfect cauldron for predators to use. Alex is the perfect victim for a monster who stops at nothing until he meets his agenda. Yes, there’s a reason for why he does what he does. You will be shocked.

Strong character set-up and performances are let down by a third act that doesn't stick the landing.

The sharp and violent road the film veers onto wasn't necessary, but the two lead actors make the journey worth taking.

Absolutely ridiculous and corny. I don't know how it got an 86% rating. Usually Rotten Tomatoes is reliable, but this is one of the very rare times it failed. Maybe a Gen Z is impressed with an irrational twist that makes zero sense.
