Popcorn Reviewss · 13 Apr 2023
“This engaging gangster drama successfully prioritizes strong storytelling and world building, though the predictable plot lacks significant twists and a weak romantic subplot.”
Read full review ↗Why this score?
The critic gave no star rating, so BMR estimated one from the words of the review. The critic praises the strong world-building, compelling gangster drama, and effective performances, but notes flaws such as a predictable story, disconnected romance, and underwhelming ending. This balance of solid strengths and clear criticisms fits a positive rating with distinct flaws. How estimates work
