User Reviews

Not all that bad

Ok, it's a standard-formula cop movie, predictable and not too clever. But it's entertaining if you dial back the expectations. And, it is GREAT to see Gabriel Macht act when he isn't being directed to constantly scream every line of dialogue ("Suits", I'm looking at you).
