About
You’ll like this if you want a suspenseful, hard-hitting spy thriller with a man-on-the-run mystery and fast, believable action; Not for you if you dislike grounded assassin thrillers or prefer more thrilling, longer action moments like John Wick.
Pros: grounded, brutal spy action; compelling identity mystery; strong lead performance | Cons: thin character depth; underused supporting role; pacing feels uneven
