Dramatic, but confusing too.

Rating: 7/10 (14 March 2016)

There are some really good scenes, and some great lines. But I had trouble trying to follow who was who, and what was going on. It is hard to say what the movie is about. Maybe a line from a voice-over helps, something like "People here don't talk to each, they crash into each other and then talk"? There are lots of crashes, mostly attitude-attitude as well as physical.
There is a nose-tail car incident very early on which is repeated at the very end. It is perhaps supposed to sum up the whole idea? Then there is the good-cop/bad-cop display. The bad cop gropes a woman and then saves her life from a car flip. The good cop can't cope with the bad cop and tries to get transferred, but runs up against ingrained issues at the precinct and later makes a bad, bad mistake, the consequences of which are not explored.
How many main actors are there? Many, mostly very good, ie, the locksmith, his wee daughter, the shopkeeper, his daughter, the cop's sick dad, the medical receptionist.
Having shown us the complicated side of life in Los Angeles, the movie fails to resolve anything, or am I expecting too much? Probably.
