About
If you like tense, fact-based crusader dramas about one person taking on a massive system, this should land, especially if you enjoyed Argo or The Imitation Game; Not for you if you want light, escapist viewing.
Pros: gripping true-story urgency; strong lead performance; anger-fueled tension | Cons: slow-burn pacing; familiar underdog formula; heavy, unsettling subject
