Pros and cons

Rating: 4/10 (5 November 2019)

Pros:
Good soundtrack and setting, effective as a period piece
Good main characters, decent examples of good and bad cops, good acting as well
Cons:
Confusing and messy main mystery, very few satisfying or clever beats throughout, ends in a pretty cliche way
Kevin Spacey's character and story were just not developed very much at all
Boring villain
So many parts just toss names at you as if you're supposed to know all these assholes
Best part: Bloody Christmas, solid representation of police fraternity being used as an avenue for brutality, also good characterization for Ed Exely
Worst part: anyone of the criminal confessions near the end, very little to flesh out or clear up the main conflict
