About
You may like this if you want a tense, dialogue-driven hostage crisis drama that tries to show multiple sides, with an artsy dance element; Not for you if you want nonstop action like xXx or a straightforward thriller.
Pros: gripping real-life premise; strong lead performances; unusual dance interludes | Cons: slow, talky pacing; uneven historical accuracy; dance disrupts tension
