Excellent storytelling
Pros: The storytelling in this film is excellent and really helps build background to these characters, particularly the protagonist, the early reveal of the protagonist having a loved one makes his death far more meaningful to watch as the audience, I love that the film was interpretable from the title and the lovely call-back at the end
Cons: Overall an amazing film, the only con I picked up on was the continuity of the lighting, a lot of the closeup shots had harsh lighting on the characters face and when zoomed out the lighting would often disappear or change other then that an absolutely excellent job with this you should be really pleased with this!
The cinematography was very cinematic and film like, this really made it feel like a professional production rather than a student film, as I said before the only thing I would work on is the continuity of the lighting.

An intriguing and captivating crime thriller with masterful tension and a suspenseful atmosphere, keeping viewers on edge throughout.

The film is beautifully shot with some high-quality production value, the lighting is gorgeous and perfectly crafted. There are a lot of noticeable issues with the sound mix however, with the foley often overpowering the visuals (footstep & gun sounds) as well as the dialogue being hard to hear at parts (I.e Phone Call). The accompanying score is great when it comes to building tension as it adds to the moody and dark nature of the film.

Overall this was a great watch and highly recommended.
