The premise is fascinating—a fashion icon turned cocaine kingpin—but it sometimes feels like it doesn't fully capitalise on its potential. The performances are solid, particularly the lead, who brings a certain charisma to the role. However, the pacing felt uneven, with some scenes dragging longer than necessary. I found myself wanting more depth in the supporting characters, as many felt underdeveloped. The film certainly has its moments of tension and style, but it doesn’t quite deliver the emotional punch I was hoping for. Overall, it’s an entertaining watch, but it may not leave a lasting impression. Show less
