seems to me that in spite of its good quality Actors (Freeman and Spacey the film is relegated to a TV teleplay styled genre

This would be higher rated if it wasn't for the main character. Justin Timberlake was miss cast and plain sucked. Not saying its entirely his fault, he was right for the part in the first place. This is like a bad version of Finding Forrester/Good Will Hunting with a dodgy cop movie shoved in. Freeman, Spacey and Cool are all great but the mess up with the hub of the film (Justin's GF wasn't that great either) it's just average
