Episodic and forced expose of a bad cop

Rating: 5/10 (22 February 2002)

Washington is magnificent. Hawke is engaging, and very cute. In fact, all the acting is terrific. The script gets off to an intriguing start, then unravels like a ball of twine. The direction gets us interested in the characters, then focuses only on maximum shock value the rest of the way. Without saying anything more, I found the ending unsatisfactory. Overall, I give this 6/10. Pretty average.
