The story of a blackmarket dealer trying to make one last deal has potential, but it occasionally feels like it drags on without significant development. The performances are decent, particularly the lead, who brings a certain charisma to the role. However, the film struggles with pacing and could benefit from tighter editing. It certainly has its moments of tension and drama, but it doesn't fully deliver on its promise. If you’re in the mood for a crime drama, it’s worth a watch, but don’t expect a groundbreaking experience. Show less
