About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tough, true-story crime drama with bombings, power plays, and a morally complicated lead; Not for you if you dislike brutal violence or prefer slower, deeper character focus like The Iceman.
Pros: gritty 1970s atmosphere; strong lead presence; true-crime intrigue | Cons: messy pacing; too many characters; familiar mob-movie beats
