Giannopoulos might be inexperienced, but he’s canny with mood and unafraid to experiment with the rhythms of violence. I, for one, am keen to see what he does next.
It may not be a perfect confection, but this cake’s got layers.

Very enjoyable and tense thriller. I loved the tempo of the movie and the central character Gio was very well acted. It's no classic but it delivers as a well thought out and emotionally charged thriller. Kudos to Shiloh Fernandez. Some of the scores here are ridiculous, zero is not a score so don't listen to those experts, give this movie a go, worth the admission price!

It will keep reminding you of better movies in the same genre.
Odd though the film is and full of peculiar needle drops showcasing classic tunes that don’t especially fit the action, the whole thing looks pretty good thanks to cinematographer Sean Price Williams.
