In the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia, an FBI agent heads a task force assembled to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man.

Reviewers praise 'Task' for its nuanced storytelling and realistic law enforcement portrayal, exploring family, guilt, and redemption. They also highlight its complex characters, strong performances, and emotional depth, especially from Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey. However, it faces criticism for slow pacing, clichés, and lack of originality. Some find it overly dramatic and characters unrelatable. Despite mixed opinions, 'Task' is seen as a well-crafted police procedural with strong performances.
