About
You may like this if you enjoy moody, lower-budget mob dramas with a familiar rise-and-fall feel, somewhere between Live by Night and London Boulevard; Not for you if you want fresh twists or a fast pace.
Pros: strong supporting cast; gritty mob atmosphere; solid tension | Cons: predictable story; uneven lead performance; talky slow stretches
