About
Not for you if you want a straightforward police thriller or clear, easy-to-follow reality rules; if you enjoy puzzling noir mysteries like Vengeance or Running on Karma, this might keep you guessing.
Pros: original mystery approach; engaging noir vibe; memorable lead performance | Cons: confusing at times; messy pacing; clarity struggles
