  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Espionage caper that is tightly written, well acted and served up in a very economical

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  A madcap satirical caper of angry unrelenting energy. Gets a bit bogged down in the final third but at its best wildly entertaining with great turns by Pattinson and Ruffalo in particular.
