Hey, do ya feel happy?! Do ya feel so happy that you think you don't deserve it?! If you do, WATCH THIS! This film will pull you down to Earth so fast and so hard that you'll auger in all the way to the other side. Dang! This was just depressing and a bit annoying too. I was annoyed (as I am totally sick, tired, and bored) with films that portray cops as low life losers who are even worse than the pieces of crap that they are on the streets to arrest. What the heck?
Okay, I came from the age of TV when show like "Police Story" and "Adam 12" were out and about and cops were good. Of course you had films like "Serpico," "The Seven-Ups," and "The French Connection" where Gene Hackman's character Popeye walks the line and steps over it, but man, enough of this demonization of the police...Puh Leeeeezzzz.
Richard Gere, Wesley Snipes, Don Cheadle, and Ethan Hawke are great and play their roles really, really, well and it is a shame. Their skills and the jobs they did were so good that they were able to take a film that was depressing to begin with practically drive me to suicide. On other notes, the script, directing, and cinematography were superb as well, but no, this is a really well done film that is just a severe downer. I would pass on it.
