About
You may like this if you want a bleak, slow-burn revenge story focused on mood and moral fallout rather than action, with a similar pull to Destroyer; Not for you if you want fast thrills or clear, tidy resolution.
Pros: brooding tension; strong lead presence; dark London mood | Cons: very slow pace; thin character depth; unsatisfying ambiguity
