David Farrier, both the star and the director, takes us on a journey that spirals into madness as he digs deeper into his investigation. There are moments that are genuinely gripping, especially when the psychological games begin to unfold. However, the film sometimes feels a bit drawn out, leaving viewers wondering if it could have been tighter. Farrier’s charisma keeps us engaged, but there are times when the pacing stumbles, making it feel longer than it needs to be. It’s an intriguing watch for true crime enthusiasts, but those looking for a straightforward narrative might find it a bit perplexing. Overall, it’s a compelling story with a few bumps along the way.
