Sinekatalog’s take
A grown-up political thriller where the real enemy is the people hiding behind official orders. Methodical and talky between its big set pieces, it suits viewers who enjoy intelligence-bureau intrigue over nonstop explosions.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
