It's somewhat suspenseful and the cast make it sort of worthwhile, but those are probably the best things you could say about this film.

Good film.

slow but engaging drama/thriller

A slow but good and simple crime drama augmented and improved by Stallone and the other cast members' performances. The plot is very comprehensible and straightforward. It was decent until the final minutes in which a disjointed and muddled ending hurts the film. I recommend it, but you must prepare yourself for the climax.

Good cast and performances, but the story wasn't anything special.

Slow burn crime drama with a rather dull plot, but some enjoyable performances. The 'downtrodden loser' role is Stallone at his most watchable and this ineffectual, lumbering sheriff really works for me. There are some great actors being underutilised here, but each get a few good scenes as they intentionally or unintentionally provoke our protagonist into action. Oh, and De Niro is funnier here than in any of his supposed comedies; that hair and moustache are just awesome.

Good

Better than I thought it would be. I was astonished how good the cast was. Honestly, I just knew about Stallone that's why I hesitated so long to watch it. But I was proven differently. Stallone is very convincing and his support is great.

A little slow, but good performances, especially by Stallone.

It starts off as a nice, slow-burning thriller with an interesting premise and a decent cast -- even Stallone manages to pull up a good performance. Unfortunately, the burn is just a little too slow, and by the time it gets to the climax it becomes very difficult to care.

I just re-watched this one recently, and on a second viewing, I completely flip-flopped my score. It's a nice little movie with a bunch of big actors. I can't say it's perfect by any means of the imagination, but I'd watch it again in, say, another 2 or 3 years.

A truly rare character for Sylvestor Stallone, but amazingly he pulls it off. Quite a good cop movie.

Solid straight-up police corruption movie starring a fat Sylvester Stallone, flanked by a pretty ridiculous ensemble cast. The highlight is possibly De Niro looking like he just left the set of the "Sabotage" music video.
