About
You may like Mirage if you enjoy mystery thrillers with early confusion and nonstop pursuit like Spellbound or Marnie; Not for you if you need a fully satisfying, airtight conclusion.
Pros: gripping early confusion; strong supporting cast; intriguing city atmosphere | Cons: weak or disappointing ending; plot feels contrived; some characters add little
