The film pulsates with a raw, kinetic energy that few crime dramas ever capture and even fewer sustain.
From the slick suits and the endless slang to the sense of dangerous privilege, the world at the centre of the story is seductive, loud and chaotic.
But beneath that surface glitz is a quieter, creeping rot-friendships fraying, rules being broken, loyalty turning into self-interest. The direction is confident and ruthless. Scenes of violence erupt almost as glibly as jokes, glamour flips into terror with no pause. The camera virtually breathes with the characters, pulling us into their atmosphere of exclusion and belonging, bravado and fear. And yes, the performances are razor sharp when the façade cracks, you feel the damage.

And yes, the performances are razor sharp when the façade cracks, you feel the damage. What stands out most is how the movie makes you like people you shouldn't like, and even root for them, for a moment.
