Review

David Brown

This urgent state-of-the-Met thriller about institutional failings within the force pits a detective fresh to CID (played by Cush Jumbo) against a seasoned veteran (Peter Capaldi) who’s determined to protect his legacy.

The cat-and-mouse tension between the two leads retains an element of tension right up until the final frame; this moment in particular also serving as a reminder of how skilled a performer Capaldi is. He manages to convey both blazing intensity and chilling coldness, and all with a look rather than a line of dialogue.
