The film's depiction of a virus-ravaged world is chillingly relevant, yet it sometimes prioritises style over substance. The performances are solid, with a particularly engaging ensemble cast, though some characters feel underdeveloped. The tension is palpable throughout, and Da Silva's direction effectively captures the chaos of the situation.
