About
You’ll probably like this intense undercover crime thriller if you enjoy suspenseful police operations and shifting loyalties like Blind Detective or Election 2; Not for you if confusing character switches and an uneven or divisive ending throw you off.
Pros: suspenseful crime drama; edge-of-your-seat twists; intense police pressure | Cons: confusing character switches; uneven pacing; disappointing or unclear ending
