Quotes
Tim Glanfield
A critic from The Times
“While Prime Video may lack the “cut-through” of Netflix, Amazon’s streaming service has “quietly found a groove in the past few months delivering a number of glossy, twisty-turny thrillers featuring British lead actors”

“an audacious group of thieves wearing unnerving prosthetics violently storm her building and force the employees to deploy $4 billion of trades to six unknown bank accounts”

Rebecca Nicholson
A critic from the Financial Times
“the “thumpingly ominous soundtrack” is rather overused, but in every scene, tension is ratcheted to its maximum, and Turner is perfectly cast, revealing herself to be “an unlikely new Bruce Willis”

“Sitting somewhere between “Industry” and “Die Hard”, this is a “lean, entertaining, no-fuss thriller”
