As the plot ... unfolds, the narrative takes a somewhat jarring turn in its final act.

Nonetheless, the narrative presses onward as the protagonist accompanied by the enigmatic Tanne, delve deeper into the murky depths of the underground.

Throughout their journey, Tanne, a figure shrouded in mystery, accompanies the detective, hinting at a deeper backstory that remains tantalizingly elusive. However, despite these hints, the narrative fails to fully explore her character, leaving the audience yearning for a deeper understanding of her role in the unfolding events.

While the resolution of the case ultimately feels somewhat lacking in depth, it is evident that the narrative is constrained by the limitations of its runtime, leaving many intriguing threads unresolved. Despite this, the film's richly atmospheric setting and compelling premise ensure an engaging viewing experience, even if the resolution may leave some viewers wanting more.
