This movie is sunk by an overdose of dramatic irony. (I'm talking about all this past-repeating-itself nonsense that gives De Niro's character a shot at redemption. It's so movie-fake; only a screenwriter could've thought it up.) It all comes to a head in an embarrassing finale in which a blubbering De Niro rambles on about all the movie's themes. Almost nothing is told visually.

Gripping would be a word used to describe this film. A story that begins as a drug related murder mystery quickly turns into a story of abandonment and acceptance. This film was saved by Francos performance, a good look into what can happen to seemingly good people. Franco is honest, the performance is filled with realism. A good film that feels real and that is all we can ask for from a good film.

Good performances from De Niro and Franco. I don't remember much else except that I liked it.

High-quality drama with good pacing and a well-balanced mix of realistic characters. Superb ensemble cast acting, and every character who touches De Niro's cop's life seems to be given the perfect amount of screen time. Very few flaws - a hidden classic.

Gritty. Even though my feelings on it may have cooled, I remember being really glad that I saw this one.

There's just no reason for movies like this to exist. Another cookie-cutter cop drama/thriller.
