The film follows Esmee, a strip club worker played by Zoe Saldana, who flees to the U.S. after killing a client. Directed by her husband, Marco Perego, it explores themes of immigration and survival, intertwining Esmee's plight with ICE agent Shipp's story. Despite the strong performances, particularly from Saldana, the script feels predictable and lacking in emotional resonance, presenting a grim narrative that fails to engage deeply with its timely subject matter. The film is now available on digital platforms, likely gaining traction due to Saldana's upcoming Oscar nomination.
