There is blood, but average level

I was expecting the third film in this franchise, but I was a little disappointed!"X" and "Pearl" they were very good and with lots of suspenseful scenes, gory scenes and darker tones! This was a bit more of a thriller drama with some good 80’s soundtracks but lacks the suspense and spooky vibe. . Crime scenes could be more brutal and much bloodier.

Action is but average level

It’s rather slow, who knows, and the twist at the end was kind of predictable if you ask me. Mia Goth is still one of the greatest young actresses of her generation, she is amazing. I was happy with Esposito and Bacon. It’s a 6 out of 10 for me!
