About
You’ll probably like it if you enjoy stylish crime thrillers with intense cat-and-mouse tension and strong lead performances; Not for you if you want a fully believable, lighthearted action ride, or if you prefer similar titles like Heat or Tokyo Vice for a different tone.
Pros: tense one-night thriller; standout Cruise performance; memorable LA atmosphere | Cons: preposterous moments; some dragging early pacing; violence escalation
