Black Work (2015)
2/10
Clumsy, contrived - poorly done.
6 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The actors - most of whom have some sterling roles behind them - are good, but have been given such a lousy script and apparently banal direction that they can't develop much by way of characters.

The plot is full of "I saw that coming" coincidences. This looks very much as if the endpoint was someone's bright idea, and whatever had to be shoehorned into the script to get to that ending was done. Nothing seems to develop from the characters or their actions.

Nothing realistic about the story - the officer was working undercover, and what unfolds from that is not believable.

I watched this on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Even then with nothing much else to do it was a waste of three hours.

Bottom line: don't bother.
