Eddie Redmayne gives a bewitching performance, embodying the titular killer with a chilling precision that makes him both terrifying and magnetic. Redmayne’s meticulous approach to the role heightens the tension, making his every move feel calculated and inevitable. His ability to blend charm with menace ensures that audiences are both disgusted and captivated, capturing the essence of the character’s duality. Unfortunately, Lashana Lynch’s performance pales in comparison, feeling wooden and uninspired.

Redmayne’s brilliance alone makes it worth watching, but Lynch’s shortcomings somewhat diminish the experience.
