The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
The movie is a straight forward, low-to-no budget crime drama about an ex-undercover officer and his life after he is removed from service and outed. It is very straight forward. At under an hour and a half it can't afford not to be.Everything to make the film enjoyable is there. The direction/cinematography is solid, very good in places. The acting is good, everyone plays their parts, though most characters are very underwritten. Actually, the entire movie is underwritten. It could have easily been thirty minutes longer and fleshed out things more. The film as is hits the ground running, and doesn't really have much buildup nor a satisfying climax.The film was enjoyable nonetheless, and it is so short that it makes a good distraction if anything else.
