Very good movie! The Plot keep you interested. We spend the first few scenes just getting to know everybody, and we keep learning about them as the movie contenues. Wonderful characterization. The story itself is very interesting, and not nearly as perdictable as a lot of other cop movies are. No sex. A joke or 2, but nothing to out of line. The language is a little rough, so that might be a hang up for some of you. In one scene, one of the characters said "What now, G-D?" like 5 time in a row. Of course, these are some rough crimials and street hardened cops in a ver ystressful situation, so it has its place... it wasn't graphicly over-used cursing, such as in Pulp Fiction or anything (which holds the record for the most F-words in one movie, btw)! Also, it is a cop movie, so if you don't want to see a little of graphic voilence, this isn't the movie for you.
Over all it was a wonderfull movie! I put off seeing it because it looked like you're run of the mill cop flick, but I was surprised at how good it actually was! A well written script, and well-cast actors with a lot of talent made for a great movie!
Tom, I'd like to get your take on it, so you don't have a choice, you have to see it.
Everyone else, if you are at the rental store, and nothing else impresses you, or you want some action, this is a WONDERFULL movie!
