Review of The Veil

The Veil (2021)
5/10
Good action, but lacking in story development as a thriller.

A lot of the so-called suspense are quite unnecessary as it seems a lot of investigators are already in the know of the "secret gang" from the start but simply choose not to reveal to the audience and the protagonist, until much later. I guess the director/writer is trying to setup an air of mistrust between agents, but it doesn't seem to work very well here.

Some of the fight scenes are also unnecessary, as if they fought for the sake of an exciting fight scene. More like gangster fights, than battle of wits between spies. The media and cops seemed oblivion to frequent mass fights and murders in the city.

Good casual entertainment nonetheless, if you're in for the gun fights and car chase.
