Overview
- Amazon MGM Studios releases the R-rated heist thriller exclusively in cinemas, including IMAX, on Feb. 13 with a runtime reported at about 139–140 minutes.
- Review aggregators at press time show roughly 88% on Rotten Tomatoes (from about 49 reviews) and a 67/100 on Metacritic, reflecting broadly positive reception.
- Critics repeatedly praise Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry, the film’s ensemble chemistry, and the moody electronic score by Blanck Mass.
- Bart Layton adapted Don Winslow’s novella, shot on location across Los Angeles, and built the film around the 101 freeway as a visual and thematic spine.
- Coverage frames the movie as a deliberate throwback to Mann-era LA crime cinema, applauding the craftsmanship while noting length, pacing issues, and a less satisfying third act.
