Some guys just want to get the bastard. That’s the deal when a cop loses his partner to a crook, falling into bribery, blackmail and violence, doing anything it takes in order to catch the bad guy.
Everyone’s so tough as nails I need a chisel. The film appears to arrange the hierarchy of its characters based on how ruthless they can be. Sex, drugs, and guns are free as children, and there is a relentless momentum of catastrophe as the cops resort to increasingly drastic measures and abuse of power in order to try and catch the bad guy.
Although perhaps a little too masochistic and narcissistic at times, the breakneck pace and speed of the story is challenging and absorbing, with both the criminal and cop competing to commit the most evil – while trying to avoid being caught.
Rating: 7/10
