SLOWburning detective movie and when I say SLOWburning then I mean really SLOW. Sorry for all these capital letters, but the first hour nothing much happens and I was wondering if anything was about to happen at all. Well, fortunately it did!
The REAL suspense and thrill (only slowly yet steadily) intensifies during the second hour, which gets really creepy and intense, with a final that is like a sledgehammer. Wow. Really impressed by it.
The good: Benicio del Toro Benicio del Toro Benicio del Toro.
This man has got charisma few other actors (are lucky to) have. He really steals the show, with his very subtle acting skills, that convey so many different feelings that simply watching Benicio del Toro lifting up a small glass to drink is fascinating to watch.
Benicio del Toro co-wrote the screenplay and he co-produced this movie as well. So he had a lot of cloud. And it shows, because this is one heck of a Benicio del Toro flick.
The director made his feature movie debut, with only having made lots of music videos before and although I dont think his direction was terrific, it certainly was a masterful debut.
Quite impressed AND spooked out by it. Recommended for the art house movie fans of slowburning (yet still suspenseful) detective movies.

Music-Director Grant Singer Teams-Up with Benicio del Toro and Delivers this "Netflix" Original for His 1st Feature-Film.
A Bleak Detective Thriller that is Driven by a Moody Neo-Noir Tone.
It's about del Toro, a Transplant Detective Trying to Avoid Mistakes-Made in the Past, and is Caught-Up in a Murder-Corruption Case where "Bad" is Overwhelmingly Everywhere.
He "Bites-the-Bullet" and Hunkers-Down as Events and Revelations Slow-Burn the Case and the Film.
The Tone is Suppressing, Dark, and Deep. More Reliant on Characters "Behaving Badly" than Action and Violence, although the Mood is Relentlessly Depressing and Cuts to the Bone.
Del Toro Nails His Inner-Turmoil Eating Away at His Soul Reflecting in His Demeanor Concerning His Job and His Wife (deliciously played by Alicia Silverstone).
A Stone-Faced Justin Timberlake is a Suspect. What Amounts to a Cameo by Eric Bergosian becomes Integral to the Story.
Worth a Watch.

I'm more of nostalgic in this review so I give it a 9 instead of 7.5 , but damn I miss a good crime thriller. This is exactly what I needed , after Little Things with Denzel , this one is the next one I really like. Movie is a nice mixture of 90s killer thrillers combined with likes of Training Day, so you gonna keep your seat warm trough the whole movie. Cast is more then amazing , screenplay is enjoyable with some nice twists , cinematography is also on point , dark and gritty . It's a more then 2 hour movie but you don't feel it at all , it just flows and keeps you interested . Don't believe bad reviews and enjoy this one. We need more of those in production !
For those who like murder mysteries like me, this is an excellent movie. My fave shows and movies are BBC mysteries and Nordic Noir - well written and well acted productions. Certainly, for the mystery-affectionado, this is a quality production from top to bottom - acting, writing, story-line, camera work, production. Benicio Del Torro is a pleasure to watch. I feel like the story was somewhat familiar but I appreciate a movie which re-covers a certain theme but in a quality way. For those who enjoy an intelligent mystery / thriller, they will enjoy this movie. For those who want a more shoot 'em up, car chase, action-packed show, this will disappoint. Overall, I recommend to anyone who enjoys quality mystery / thriller productions.
This movie is a testament to Benicio Del Toro's return to form, reminding me of his stellar performance in "Sicario." It maintains a perfect pace, is skillfully directed, and boasts impressive performances by the lead actors. The storyline is intricately developed, and while it does have some predictable moments, it offers plenty of unexpected twists and turns that kept me captivated throughout its over two-hour runtime. It's a refreshing addition to Netflix's lineup, and I eagerly anticipate more films of this genre in the future. Not sure where some of the 1 star reviews come from, but this is definitely one of the standout crime thrillers of recent times, in my view.
