Excellent police drama with plenty of realistic gunplay and barrels and barrels of profanity. Two cases are running at the same time with one cop dividing his time between both projects. Meanwhile, he becomes involved with a radical Jewish hate group which is deeply involved in terrorism. The film was a little slow in the middle, but was still a tense and gritty picture.
