About
You’ll likely enjoy this gritty CIA revenge thriller if you want a tense cat-and-mouse chase with a haunted lead; Not for you if you need a tighter, more thrilling spy plot, as some viewers found it slow, generic, and disappointing compared to Running with the Devil or Seeking Justice.
Pros: Cage’s intense performance; suspenseful thriller vibe | Cons: underwhelming revenge angle; uneven tension
