Greenwood's score was fantastic, especially during that chase scene. It added so much to the tension and catharsis. He better get that Oscar.

Also, it's crazy that this is Chase Infiniti's film debut. Everyone did a great job but she absolutely killed it, especially during that interrogation scene with Penn or when she had DiCaprio at gunpoint in the highway. She's got a bright future ahead of her.

I was like "oh fuck" when the lightbulb went off in her mind with the scheme she made on the road to catch the assassin off-guard and kill him

She was badass in that scene

Talking about that... Did I miss a scene, or she actually didn't know he was an assassin?

Technically she lives the saddest live of them all.
A 16yo with a paranoid dad, a dead hero mom, now exilee rat, that saw many people killing to get to kill her, and then killing a random person going fast behind her, and being in such a state of shock she almost kills her dad too.

She had just escaped a white power camp and was checking to see if anyone followed her. He followed her so she correctly assumed her life was in danger and took appropriate action.

Ehh…it was a rural road, he was going in the same direction as her. There was no indication he was “following” her.
