When Bill confesses the murder to Joe, the two strike up an uneasy alliance, leading to a wild adventure.

VIBE

A grim, nihilistic descent into societal rot. This film feels like a raw, unflinching look at desperation and violence, fueled by a sense of profound disillusionment. It's a brutal, character-driven journey that leaves you feeling unsettled.
