Good but failed to impress...

Rating: 6/10 (26 August 2013)

The film starts off very stylish, looking every bit the classic cop movies of the 70's and 80's. Sadly it does not keep this early promise and soon slips into the usual cliché's that have haunted many more recent cop films. I found it very hard to connect with any of the characters, although all the performances were very good. I did particularly like Werner Herzog as The Zec, a particularly shady character; other than that it was pretty mundane. I found it a bit bloated and over-long although it did pick up towards the end.
SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED (Just)
My score: 5.8/10.
