About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a talky political mystery that mixes satire with corruption and environmental themes, and you’re fine with a slower, winding investigation; Not for you if you need subtlety or a tight thriller like Snake Eyes.

Pros: strong ensemble cast; pointed political satire; a few sharp scenes | Cons: meandering pace; heavy-handed message; predictable mystery
