It's not exactly the freshest cop hunt concept but they were able to outdo every scope of potential and achieve the unthinkable, almost reminiscent of the joker level of intellect and mind battles, while the action scenes that come with it are so potent it doesn't even need to be purposefully stretched out for it to be good. There is some comical effect but it didn't really matter because all the little details are so compelling and the dialogues are cleverly written, the suspense it offers is just brilliant and well calculated.
