What the critics say

A gripping, well-crafted thriller with strong performances and a racing screenplay that gives both hero and villain real complexity, though most reviews agree the back half loses momentum and the climax wraps up too rushed and convenient.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
