A lot of acronyms, a lot of jargon. Luckily, you can just skip over those bits, and it doesn't affect your understanding of the plot.

Otherwise, it's an enjoyable race-against-the-clock police thriller. The crimes were grody, tensions high. There isn't a lack of character development though. You get some introspection with the detective work.

That was good. Jolly good in fact.

Some heavy gore scenes that I skipped but dang that was good.

I usually don't give a review if it is not 5 but I'm going to give this one a strong 4 stars.

My critique is the gory brutal scenes and a bit of the in-between scenes that I had no interest in.
