“The closer you get...”

ThrillerCrimeDrama

Two strangers strike up a conversation on a long journey. However, neither is who they appear to be, each carry secrets that threaten to ruin them — and in the background, one of the nation's largest police operations is closing in.

VIBE

This film feels like a slow-burn descent into suspicion. The air is thick with unspoken truths and the constant hum of paranoia. It’s a masterclass in building dread, making you question everything and everyone alongside the characters.
