Our take

Oscar®-winning British director Steve McQueen teams up with Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) for an enthralling heist thriller that echoes the sensitivities of present day political movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo. Viola Davis gives a commanding performance in this blistering crime story.
