It's a story about "bad cop, good cop" (or should I say "bad pupil, good pupil"). Started by the act Billy Taggart(Marky Mark) and someone who raped-till-death Yesenia Barea, head-shot by the police bare hands(JK, pistol). Fortunately, it was considered as self-defense by the court.
7 years has passed, Billy starting to forget what happened, not until the New York City currently Mayor, Nicholas Hostetler(Russell Crowe) called him for another private detective job that he could avoid, and this movie will just end well.
As far as I can say, this film has no special point at all. Yeah, we all know Marky Mark hardly miss the police role, neither do Crowe and Caroline Zeta-Jones. But the story, it has no special point at all. All you want to do is just waiting this story to peel its truth one-by-one.
From the Mayor's wife, to Mayor's rival campaign manager, to Mayor himself and back to dearly Billy Taggart. It's just like watching CSI, minus murder focus, yet a mystery. And the sub-plot, they are never find their their solution, I kinda hate that.
And if you expect the car battle will help, no, that makes it worse. Such a nonsense that a car with 40 mph speed that leaves nothing but a bruise for its driver. Come to think of it, crime movie uses logic all the time.
tl;dr This movie is not worth it for cinema. Wait it to come in front of your couch will be good. Or else, you'll find it very plain, no twist, an exciting debate(but hey, once again, it's crime movie, not a debate movie we want to watch here), good acting, funny drunk act, little fist-fighting, and the ending, the ending soundtrack is pretty good. I wonder where I can find it...
