Text: Rehashing his favorite subject of New York City police corruption, Lumet slaps together, they say, an implausible plot (a year after law school, an ex-cop becomes a crusading district attorney), formulaic characters (bad-ass drug dealer, idealistic liberal defense lawyer), and preachy moralizing.
Entailment: Lumet likes to discuss police corruption.
Contradiction: The plot Lumet brings is believable.
