About

You may enjoy this if you want a straightforward, modern spy thriller with quick pacing and familiar stakes; Not for you if you need grounded plotting or a standout mystery like Murder on the Orient Express.

Pros: watchable lead performances; brisk action beats; magnetic villain presence | Cons: weak, generic script; implausible plot turns; tension often falls flat
