About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, offbeat Monte Carlo heist with a worn-down antihero and shifting loyalties, like Croupier or The Score; Not for you if you need fast pacing and crystal-clear plotting.
Pros: stylish Euro crime mood; clever heist setup; strong lead presence | Cons: slow, loping pace; muddled, overcomplicated plot; hard-to-follow dialogue
