Thursday
A seemingly idyllic suburban existence fractures when a former drug dealer, attempting to rebuild his life as an architect in Texas, is confronted by the violent resurgence of his criminal past. This isn’t a standard crime thriller; the film blends dark humor with genuinely tense moments as the protagonist struggles to protect his newfound family and conceal a history he desperately tries to leave behind. The narrative explores the precariousness of identity—the constructed persona versus inherent nature—and the devastating consequences of unresolved loyalty, constantly oscillating between the mundane rhythms of domesticity and explosive bursts of underworld chaos. The film portrays a chilling realism in its depiction of casual violence and the desperation of those clinging to a life outside the law, creating a subtly unsettling atmosphere where the threat isn’t merely physical, but existential.
