In the gritty psychological thriller Waz, directed by Tom Shankland, a series of brutal, ritualistic murders terrorizes a decaying urban landscape, each crime scene marked by a chilling mathematical equation carved into the victim's flesh. Detective Eddie Argo, played by Stellan Skarsgad, is a weary, morally compromised cop assigned to the case, haunted by his own demons and struggling to hold his fractured life together. He is joined by a tenacious crime scene photographer, Helen Westcott, portrayed by Melissa George, who becomes increasingly drawn into the investigation's dark heart. As the body count rises, the killer’s cryptic puzzles force Argo to confront a terrifying possibility: the murders may be connected to a twisted philosophical game that tests the limits of human empathy and morality. The atmosphere is thick with dread and urban decay, as the detective races against time to decode the killer’s sadistic logic before another victim is claimed. With a supporting cast including Tom Hardy and Selma Blair, this unflinching thriller explores the darkest corners of the human psyche, asking how far someone will go to prove they are not a monster.
