About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bleak, character-driven British crime story with menace and moral unease, closer in mood to The American than action-heavy fare; Not for you if you need fast pacing or likable leads.
Pros: strong performances; moody atmosphere; vivid 60s setting | Cons: slow pace; uneven tension; divisive ending
