About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a big, over-the-top action ride with constant puzzles, explosions, and a bickering team-up across New York; Not for you if you need grounded realism or slow-burn tension like Man on Fire.
Pros: fast-paced citywide thrills; funny buddy banter; memorable villain | Cons: far-fetched set pieces; contrived early setup; less suspenseful later
