About

You’ll likely enjoy this tense, street-level crime thriller if you like deadline-driven chases and tough moral choices; Not for you if you prefer less grim, more original plotting, or if you can’t stand the talky, high-energy witness dynamic seen in The Fast and the Furious or Cellular.

Pros: gritty street intensity; strong lead chemistry; solid thriller pacing | Cons: predictable plot turns; uneven character voice; pacing drags some
