Title: Just didn't pull me in
Review: I usually like cop movies, even when they have a dark edge - likeRighteous Kill. However, this film was trying so hard to be gritty, it just ended up being boring for me. None of these usually talented actors showed any spirit - it was like they were being beaten down by the violent, depressing story amid a dark and gloomy setting. Most of the film is quite literally dark, and muddy looking. There are sporadic scenes of intense violence, but no real emotion. I think I needed someone to identify with, whether villain or hero, but instead I got several characters who all wanted to be put out of their misery. Overall, I found this to be a very slow movie with nowhere to go.
