Just another cop movie. It's all been done before and this isn't anything different. This is like Heat, Starsky and Hutch, and Showtime, without that something that makes the movie good. I couldn't sit through this movie because I couldn't concentrate... Full review

Overall it was a good movie. I think it could have used a little more character development. The only real problem with it, is there were only four good people in the movie and two of them were killed.... Full review

Gabriel Beristain's lighting and cinematography is almost always exemplary - almost, because the gun and fist fight scenes are shot in what is today's fashionable whirly-gig hand held style, avoiding establishing wide shots that would give us physical context.
