What starts as just another crime story slowly develops into a truly horrific trip à la Kings Best that wonderfully comes together in the end.

Was on the edge of my seat until the third act. The first two acts are gripping and impossible to put down.

Hard to rate because I'm disappointed. The beginning was very strong, and then the characters kinda had the same conversations and asked the same questions a few times. Slow second act and the climax didn't wow me.
