This is a sun-drenched, yet deeply cynical, neo-noir journey through 70s Los Angeles. It feels like a hazy, melancholic dream, steeped in moral ambiguity and a pervasive sense of disillusionment. The atmosphere is thick with cool detachment and a world-weary charm, perfect for a contemplative, late-night watch.
