The Undercover Man
“TOLD WITH THE SNARL OF A MACHINE GUN!”
CrimeDrama
Frank Warren is a treasury agent assigned to put an end to the activities of a powerful mob crime boss. Frank works undercover, posing as a criminal to seek information, but is frustrated when all he finds are terrified witnesses and corrupt police officers.
VIBE
A shadowy, morally ambiguous world where trust is a luxury. This film feels like a smoke-filled room, a slow burn of systemic rot and the lonely fight for a sliver of justice against overwhelming odds.
