This film feels like being caught in an inescapable, high-stakes trap. It's a relentless descent into paranoia and moral compromise, where every decision carries dire consequences. The atmosphere is slick yet suffocating, building a palpable sense of dread as the walls close in. It's a gripping, nerve-wracking ride.
