I thought this movie was pretty good when I watched it, but it was a bit unsatisfying after watching it. The first part of Chris's appearance was very good, but after that, it felt a little bit incomprehensible. Samuel's growth in the past ten years is still very obvious. Compared with his performance in Unthinkable, there is still a little bit of craftsmanship.
The plot is a little less convoluted, and it's a bit boring to know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy from the beginning. So until Danny was pulled away at the end, I thought Chris was stuffing Danny with key evidence that was hidden, and then they would identify more people involved, including Beck, and it turned out that the fucking badge was the one.
Alas, in the final analysis, I just like this kind of wit-fighting theme, and I hate that the screenwriter can't always beat the audience. . . .
