Description: Forget dazzling CGI or explosive action; COIN (2022) burrows deep into the human psyche, leaving you breathless not with spectacle, but with the quiet intensity of its exploration of greed and its corrosive effects. The film’s minimalist aesthetic, far from being a weakness, serves as a powerful metaphor for the hollowing out of the soul that accompanies the insatiable pursuit of wealth. While the narrative unfolds at a deliberate pace, the suspense is palpable, built not on jump scares but on the slow, agonizing drip-feed of moral compromise. COIN isn't just a thriller; it's a character study, a chilling examination of how easily ambition can warp even the most seemingly virtuous individuals. Its lingering impact resonates long after the credits roll, prompting a profound self-reflection on the true cost of success. This is a film that demands to be seen, discussed, and ultimately, felt.
