7/10
Intricate web of undercover deceit.
18 October 2019
1 good cop goes undercover with the mob. Another bad cop goes undercover with the police force. Both undercover cops try to outsmart each other in an intricate web of undercover deceit.

Quite complicated to follow this stories subtleties at moments. There are so many people double crossing each other, that it is hard to keep count. This movie has got a continuous suspenseful mood, which is quite fascinating to watch.

The drama is a bit lacking though, because the characters are very introvert and there are many of them, whom we all dont know very well.So it's rather difficult to really relate to 1 leading character, because there basically isnt one. This lack of a clear and defined leading role dillutes the power of this drama somewhat. Furthermore the editing is too fast at moments, making it hard to understand where some of the characters come from.

It could have been a more gripping movie, with better (slower) editing and a more restrained and focussed build up of the story. Still a worthwhile detective drama, which is probably only suited for those who like intelligent detective stories.
