About
If you enjoy tough, no-nonsense crime thrillers about a cop taking on a major cartel, this should fit, especially if you liked Cop or Hood or Lost Bullet; Not for you if you want lighthearted action or clear-cut heroes.
Pros: relentless justice drive; high-stakes cartel hunt; gritty French setting | Cons: tough-on-crime tone; morally gray tactics; familiar cop story
