About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, twisty Italian crime thriller with a tense odd-couple alliance and political undercurrents, like The Big Racket; Not for you if you can’t stand poor dubbing or slower, talkier stretches.
Pros: clever premise; strong lead pairing; tense intrigue | Cons: badly synced dubbing; overlong pacing; weak wrap-up
