Goofs

Caleb burns a picture of him and his father. The camera angle changes a number of times. From the front of the photograph we see that Caleb is holding the photo so that the right side burns up. When seen from the back, Caleb is holding the photo on an angle and the burning is diagonal.

User Reviews

Compelling drama, excellent direction.

Caught this flick on Sundance Channel and it rocked. Beautifully directed and the cinematography was gorgeous. Interesting take on the classic film noir. Boxing scenes were tight and exciting. Interpersonal scenes were intimate and touching. Nice comic touch with the two detectives. Excellent!
