What the critics say

Reviews split: one praises it as a well-crafted thriller with strong performances and direction, while others call it overstuffed and contrived, dragging into a formulaic climax after a tense start.

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 3 readings; 0 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.
