The plot of the movie isn't complex at all. It runs a whopping two hours and forty minutes. Most of that time is spent driving and talking in cars. This makes the movie a slow-burn. Director could have shaved thirty minutes off and reduced some of the film's drag. It's tough to sit through, but definitely worth seeing for the harder edge.
Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn are good together in a disturbing film. The performances are excellent across the board here. Gibson and Vaughn have great chemistry together as our buddy cop duo, and they're given some terrific hard-boiled dialogue to work with. However, it's Gibson who steals the show as a chain-smoking, weathered, sympathetic macho man who's unable to change with the times.
