Where does the first part end? Bob (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Case (Maika Monroe) drive in the rural countryside reflecting on their near death encounter with Cyrus (Karl Glusman) and his crew.

Final line of dialogue on the first part: No dialogue, Case and Bob drive as a soundtrack plays in the background.

First line of dialogue on the second part: No dialogue at the start of the scene as Errol Grey (Jonathan Tucker) parties in his club where he is dancing and drinking. About one minute into the scene, Errol swears at Case and Bob who take him outside at gun point.

How jarring is it when the first part ends? Minimal, the scene is peaceful with acoustic background music. There is no dialogue, but clearly both characters are reflecting on last nights events. With the events of last night will Bob still be able to find his daughter?

Which part is better? The film is extremely violent and gory, as Bob teams up with Case in an attempt to infiltrate the cult gang that has taken his daughter. The film is long and drawn out, with part two being slightly better due to Bob and Case finally confronting the cult gang.

Academy Awards: To be determined, 2024 nominations yet to be announced
