About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lean, serious manhunt thriller with gritty close-quarters violence and a mentor-versus-student edge, similar in spirit to The Way of the Gun; Not for you if you need a fresh plot or lots of investigation detail.

Pros: tense cat-and-mouse chase; strong lead performances; intense hand-to-hand fights | Cons: basic familiar story; thin character depth; drags in parts
