About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, twisty political thriller that drops you into the action and keeps the pressure on, like Ronin or The Spanish Prisoner; Not for you if you dislike murky plots or heavy subject matter.
Pros: tense, plot-driven momentum; dark political intrigue; strong lead performance | Cons: confusing, thin setup; stilted dialogue; implausible plot turns
