About

If you enjoy talky, high-stakes political thrillers about power and loyalty, this should land, especially if you liked All the President's Men; Not for you if you want nonstop action or simple heroes and villains.

Pros: gripping political premise; strong ensemble performances; tense ticking-clock stakes | Cons: saggy middle stretch; some implausible investigation beats; unnecessary romantic subplot
