About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a hard-edged French police thriller about ambition, corruption, and rivalry under pressure, with a bleak tone; Not for you if you avoid brutal violence or prefer lighter, clearer mysteries like Tell No One.

Pros: intense cop rivalry; dark, gripping mood; strong performances | Cons: very grim tone; heavy violence; some plot logic gaps
