The evil that men do

CrimeDramaThriller

Callum Crane, a lawyer and would-be federal judge, jeopardizes his chances at a judgeship by forcing himself on his secretary. He then worsens the situation by trying to have the woman murdered. Further complicating matters, he assigns the task to a young man who, unbeknownst to Crane, is actually his son, Nathan. Nathan refuses to do the deed, but not before informing several people, one of whom tries to take on the job.

A slow-burn descent into moral rot, this film feels like a tightening noose. It’s a gritty, character-driven thriller that explores the dark consequences of unchecked ambition and desperate choices. The tension builds relentlessly towards an inevitable, grim conclusion.
