About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a smart, gritty 1970s crime thriller where a heist spirals into a tense pursuit; Not for you if you dislike slow-burn stories or morally gray leads, like in The Outfit.
Pros: clever cat-and-mouse suspense; strong lead performance; tense chase moments | Cons: slow-burn pacing; some dated elements; hard-to-root-for characters
