About
If you enjoy classic crime thrillers with a lookalike infiltrator, you’ll likely like Don; Not for you if you want a light, feel-good story.
Pros: tense infiltration premise; stylish crime energy; strong cat-and-mouse tension | Cons: grim, bleak stakes; identity confusion may frustrate; depends on lookalike setup
