An undercover cop struggling to provide for his son and ailing wife, must infiltrate a ruthless gang. But things turn sour when another cop blows his cover and he quickly finds himself battling for his life and the lives of his family.
I watched this as a double feature with "The Defender", which seems appropriate given the similar time, cast, crew and so on. Of the two, this is the more complex, but unfortunately it is also the less enjoyable. The fun and humor of the earlier film is just not present.
One thing that is interesting is how much of this story is from the perspective of the son. It never devolves into silliness or kid-friendly territory, though. That should count for something.
