Reviews
Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
callanvass (Credit IMDb) When a cop's crooked past comes back to get him, can he do the right thing, or will he succumb to the threats of his dangerous connections? Not only was this movie confusing, but boring. I wasn't really sure what Dorff's character was all about. Dorff can be a great actor when he has the right material to work with, but making crappy STD movies is not the way to go. I can't believe the cast for this kind of crap. James Woods must have been looking for a paycheck, same with David Boreanz. Dorff fans can do much better. Ironically enough, this is a similar film to another STD movie of Dorff's that is equally as terrible called, Tomorrow You're Gone2/10
jjcm7799 This movie, I hope it is at the level of "Training Day," "Internal Affairs" and "Brooklyn's Finest" regardless of what the critics say, is based on a true story, and anyway if it were fiction, it is real, that the political will to put in every corner, the statistics are handled for more interest and image, personally I give a 11 points on 10 points, the entire cast, and all those who know it developed from the heart of them that is a premium product, good job.I hope that whatever the critics of today are more speakers of the system and their owners, for someone to come and say that this movie is good, surprising and leads down a path sure no one will move from the couch
Tony Heck "Today is the day I die." Detective Callahan (Dorff) is a good cop with a checkered past. While out protecting someone he gives chase and does what he has to do, when the person he is chasing turns out to be a cop he wonders what is going on. Things begin to become confusing to him and he is struggling to do his job and fall back into his old ways. This movie starts off very exciting and gripping and stays that way for about half the movie. Then it starts to slow down a little. I think the problem with this is that it is a really good idea for a TV show but when stretched out into a full length movie they have to drag some things out and that really hurts the pace of the movie. This is still worth watching though and keeps you interested for most of it. While not amazing this is still better then most of the movies like this that have come out. Overall, worth seeing but would have been better as a TV show like "Blue Bloods" or "NYPD Blue". I give it a B.
johnboyblues When I started watching this film I was trying to figure out where it was going for the first hour. And with a film that approximately 1hr37mins that's pushing my limits on clarity (or as the politicians call it, transparency). On the other hand what fun would it be it we could figure out what was going to happen next (but I do like to know what's happening now).All the actors do a good job. James Woods is always great and he maintains his standing in this film. Dorff is believable as the alcohol/drug abusing detective, although I don't know if many police departments would allow his attire, demeanor and foul odor to continue for very long. I like Walton Goggins in this although I don't think there was enough of him. That broad toothy smile of his is a trademark but we did not see any of that in this flick.Even after the film discloses part of the overall plot and what you think is the missing piece there is still a finish that surprises. Otherwise, this would be a humdrum movie.One concept that was used extensively were flashbacks, especially at the beginning, that left me confused about what the actual storyline was or which storyline I was suppose to follow. But I got past it and enjoyed the movie.This film is worth a watch.
