It drags a bit, but the atmosphere is great, the viewers literally immerse themselves in the mind of the protagonist, and along with him are taken aback by what happens and dread what comes next. Clint Eastwood's typical cool directorial style was already evident in his debut, and I really resent him for the few jump scares because I was jumping in my seat. ()
Even in his directorial debut, Clint Eastwood showed that he was destined for greatness in Hollywood. This psychological drama is not only well-crafted for its time but also remains relevant today. It's gritty and uncompromising, showcasing the signature style Clint is known for. ()
