About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a conspiracy-heavy thriller that leans on investigation and courtroom tension more than action, especially if you liked Millennium; Not for you if you need nonstop thrills or a brisk pace.
Pros: gripping conspiracy thread; tense courtroom drama; compelling central performance | Cons: slow, talky stretches; less action than expected; uneven, messy pacing
