Insights
Review Summary
Pros: gritty 80s noir energy; intense cat-and-mouse; memorable violent set pieces | Cons: offensive racism and sexism; uneven pacing early; messy subplot distractions
Will You Like This?
Youโll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, hard-boiled cop-vs-gangsters thriller with rough edges, sudden brutality, and an antihero lead; Not for you if casual slurs, harsh stereotypes, or relentless nastiness are dealbreakersโtry Deep Cover or Kiss of the Dragon instead.
