This is a sprawling, elegiac journey through a life defined by loyalty and violence. It feels like a weighty, melancholic reflection on the cost of power, the bonds of brotherhood, and the inexorable march of time. A profound character study, it immerses you in a world of quiet menace and profound regret.
