About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tough, old-school cop thriller with bursts of intense action and a lone-wolf vibe, similar to The Gauntlet or Under Siege; Not for you if you need nonstop action or subtle realism.

Pros: gritty Chicago setting; tense cop thriller; strong action bursts | Cons: familiar story beats; uneven pacing; over-the-top finale
