You’ll likely enjoy this edge-of-your-seat police manhunt if you like gritty action thrillers with tense loyalties like Den of Thieves or The Siege; Not for you if you want truly original plotting or feel-good clarity.
Pros: intense lead performance; engaging pacing; gripping cop thriller | Cons: predictable plot beats; limited exploration; some darkness
