About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like classic noir heist stories focused on planning, teamwork, and the messy fallout when ambition meets bad luck; Not for you if you need a fast pace or a clear-cut hero, like in The Killing.

Pros: tense heist build-up; vivid underworld characters; gritty noir mood | Cons: slow late pacing; limited clear hero; some dated dialogue
