    My only issue here was that yes, it's a crime drama so it's supposed to be slow, but sometimes it's really really slow, and drags the story a bit too much, which helps to understand why this is over 2 hours long.
    But I did like the main characters, Benicio is very good as usual (not as good as Sicario imo, like I've been seing written here), and I just love to see Alicia again, she's so pretty, aged so well from that 90s teen princess to a lovely lady.

    This one opens up with a blast: Creepy and gory, a very unsettling start that made me hope for a solid take on nunsploitation of some sort.

    This could have been so much more fun I guess, but that last act ruined it for me.

    Until then, the movie had barely gave me a moment to catch my breath, I was really into it, feeling every minute of this low fi horror flick, and how much it was accomplishing on such a tight budget.
    The protagonist was great and the fact that this barely has any dialogues was a good idea imo, because it allows us to totally focus on every detail of what was going on.
