The CinePearl Take
Bretherton’s direction is economical, letting every cramped cockpit and shadow‑filled terminal scene build a palpable sense of dread. The film’s standout turn comes from the enigmatic femme‑fatale, whose icy poise anchors the plot’s twists. While the pacing occasionally drifts into the procedural, the final act’s reveal lands with satisfying punch, reminding viewers why these low‑budget mysteries still intrigue.
