The film suffers from a scripted dialogue that often feels stilted and lacking in organic flow, the characters appear to be waiting for their cue, resulting in moments of robotic stillness before delivering their lines. While certain minor details, such as the accurate depiction of grenades, are commendable, they are overshadowed by the characters' lack of common sense. Without revealing specific plot points, it's obvious that characters often fail to recognize or respond appropriately to potential dangers. Even for being a production under the Netflix banner, the film disappoints across acting, plot development, and direction. Additionally, its departure from the original title sets a discordant tone from the outset.
