Terminal
A dizzying neo-noir puzzle box unfolds within a relentlessly indifferent urban landscape, where a seemingly unconnected quartet—a weary assassin, a failing teacher, a cryptic janitor, and a watchful waitress—are subtly manipulated towards a violent reckoning. The film deliberately eschews conventional narrative structure, employing a non-linear timeline and shifting perspectives to mimic the fractured reality of its characters and the spiraling nature of revenge. It's not a story *about* a criminal mastermind, but a claustrophobic examination of how desperation and hidden lives collide, creating a darkly comedic and unsettling portrait of individuals trapped in self-destructive cycles. The atmosphere is less about thrilling action and more about a pervasive sense of fatalism, underscored by moments of unexpected, deadpan humor, building to a shockingly abrupt and ambiguous finale that prioritizes existential dread over neat resolution.
