A period drama pierced with elements of action & thriller that's polished in all filmmaking aspects and manages to be a tense, riveting ride for the majority of its runtime, The Age of Shadows maintains its gripping aura for the first two acts with its cleverly constructed & palpably tense cat-n-mouse premise but falters during the final act that feels a tad too drawn out & melodramatic. Worth a shot for the impressive set pieces it has in store.
