This is yet another “bad cop” movie, a distant cousin to Dark Blue. Why are we picking on dirty cops all the time?
This movie has three outstanding performances: Bruce Willis as the wily old veteran, Mos Def as the young criminal, and David Morse as the villain.
A pleasant surprise is that the movie is remarkably clean by modern standards. There is some violence, but it tells a story without the egregious graphic violence and profanity that so many movies use as a substitute for plot and dialogue.
I really liked the movie, but a lot of the enjoyment comes from the little surprises and plot twists, so I fear that it does not have a lot of replay value.
