About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, brooding British action-thriller that builds methodically and turns brutal, with a vigilante edge like The Mechanic; Not for you if you need nonstop action or tidy answers.
Pros: gritty British mood; tense slow-burn build; brutal action bursts | Cons: messy split plot; familiar conspiracy beats; ending feels abrupt
