About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a twist-heavy, modern-noir thriller about desperate choices and messy betrayals, similar to Deceiver or Under Suspicion; Not for you if you need likable leads or realistic, tightly grounded plotting.
Pros: twisty, easy-to-follow story; tense noir vibe; some solid performances | Cons: unlikeable characters; far-fetched plot turns; uneven dialogue
