About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast-building political thriller with romance, paranoia, and a tight man-on-the-run feel, similar to The Crying Game or House of Games; Not for you if you dislike dated 80s vibes or slow setups.
Pros: tense political intrigue; twisty mystery setup; strong lead performances | Cons: dated 80s score; uneven second half; some plot contrivances
