What is Blitz about?
A tough cop is dispatched to take down a serial killer who has been targeting police officers.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
A brutal serial killer hunts police officers, and a tough cop delivers gritty, brisk justice.
Suspenseful and pulpy. A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.

- How gory is Blitz?
- Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.

- Rated R, and it earns it: brutal violence, frequent strong language and graphic gore. Not one for kids.
