Similar Story, New Flare...
25 October 2008
I have read many reviews saying the same thing, that this is the same old cop story and is just a rip off similar movies, nothing new. Usually with the badly written movies coming out like they have the last couple years I would agree, but not this time. Sure this is similar to the bad cop, good cop scenario, but this offers something deeper and more exciting than I have seen in a cop thriller for a long time. The all-star cast, great writing and dramatic scenes will have you holding your breath thinking what's coming next. There are twists and turns in this that kept me on the edge of my seat, not able to go to the bathroom. The scene with the baby was so shocking to all the senses, but some might not be able to handle it. I think because there are so many cop movies coming out, that people just come with the assumption that it's going to be nothing new. Let's think of it this way, every story now is just repeated, it's how you tell it that makes the difference.
