About
You may enjoy this if you like idea-driven political dramas about industry under pressure and don’t mind stiff dialogue; Not for you if you want subtle storytelling or natural performances—try Ghost in the Shell or Allegiant instead.
Pros: timely political drama; strong central premise; some striking railway visuals | Cons: wooden acting; clunky dialogue; heavy-handed message
