It’s thanks to a kind of tug of war between background and foreground that Beckett succeeds as a piece of entertainment.

It’s intriguing to see Filomarino experiment with the formula and exciting to imagine where his career might go from here.

Thin and politically disengaged as this diverting Euro-thriller can be, it never forgets how even the most desperate of people can be left to suffer in plain sight — nothing but figures in a landscape.

Beckett is a solid Netflix effort that offers a throwback to the intense political manhunt thrillers of the 1970s.

The Beckett character is sparsely written, and the sometimes bland performance Washington delivers doesn’t fill in many characterization gaps; it’s a problem that affects the pacing, too.
