About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, suspenseful political drama driven by negotiations and human stakes rather than action; Not for you if you dislike slow stretches or heavy nationalism, like in Raid.
Pros: tense diplomatic stakes; strong lead performance; grounded, realistic tone | Cons: uneven pacing; thin supporting roles; some divisive politics
