About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, more dramatic action-crime story with big stunts and a redemption arc, similar in spirit to Infernal Affairs II; not for you if you expect light comedy or nonstop fights.

Pros: darker, emotional story; strong lead performance; exciting stunts | Cons: uneven tone shifts; slow first hour; some over-the-top drama
