Highest 2 Lowest

CriticsCritics: 79
AudienceAudience: 5.7

A powerful music mogul is preparing to reclaim his record company when a ransom plot turns his attention to a life-or-death moral dilemma. He must weigh an important business deal against the choice to help a loved one’s family, while questions of loyalty, money, and responsibility come into focus.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like crime dramas centered on moral choices, music, and New York, but Not for you if you want a brisk, tightly focused thriller with consistently subtle background music.
