About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty Dutch police thriller with a strong 1980 Amsterdam vibe, street unrest, and a fast-moving investigation; Not for you if you dislike rough violence, swearing, or formulaic buddy-cop beats like in Mocro Maffia.
Pros: convincing 1980 Amsterdam feel; solid gritty suspense; strong performances | Cons: formulaic buddy-cop setup; some generic alley scenes; harsh interrogation moments
