About
You might like this if you want a tough cop thriller with a protective-family hook and the straightforward punch of The Rookie or Tango & Cash; Not for you if grim loss-driven stories are a turnoff.
Pros: strong emotional stakes; family-protection angle; tense crime setup | Cons: familiar revenge story; heavy subject matter; little levity
