About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, mostly serious 90s action-thriller with Russian mob danger, frequent chases, and bruising fights; Not for you if you need tight plotting or subtle romance—try Double Impact for a similar hook.
Pros: gritty fights; nonstop chases; pulpy twin-hook | Cons: messy plot; uneven dialogue; thin character depth
