Sinekatalog’s take
In 1990s New York, an undercover cop meant to entrap gay men finds himself drawn to one of his targets. Tense, sensual and intimate, it turns a conflict of duty and desire into a personal thriller. Fits viewers who enjoy tightly wound character-driven drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
