About
You may like this if you want a socially conscious hospital drama that mixes outrage with dark humor, somewhat in the vein of Flatliners in a more grounded setting; Not for you if preachy, uneven message movies wear you out.
Pros: timely subject; humor amid drama; strong ensemble cast | Cons: heavy-handed message; uneven tone; forgettable for some
