Show more >> Christopher tries hard to be a thought-provoking action flick, but it often stumbles under the weight of its own ambition. The plot revolves around a cop who bends the law, but at times, it feels like a familiar journey we've seen before. While the lead actor delivers a passionate performance, some supporting characters lack depth, making their motivations feel somewhat flat. The film’s pacing can be uneven, with moments of high tension followed by lengthy exposition that slows the momentum. However, it does manage to provoke discussions about morality and justice, which is commendable. If you enjoy a good cop drama with a twist, Christopher might still be worth a watch, even if it doesn’t fully hit the mark. Show less
