pretty good in its action and suspense.
its characters are smart and slick which creates some great scenes but its also not much else besides just good which is better then not being good but the concept is genius yet not used to its full potential.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut, high-stakes psychological thriller where two moles race to unmask each other while their identities splinter under the pressure of deception. The film crackles with the paranoia of never knowing who to trust.
