Positive - I have never had such mixed feelings about a movie. On one hand,
this movie is a foul, gritty cop drama that has f- and s- words littered
constantly throughout, extreme violence, and graphic depictions of drug use.
But on the other hand, it is a powerful, gripping film about two cops (Ray
Liotta and Jason Patric)on the Detroit Narc Squad going about the
investigation of a murder in unorthodox ways. Both cops, in my opinion,
are good men, but they are forced to uphold and enforce the law in a world
of violence and mayhem. Thus, many times they resort to aggresiveness and
cruelty to do the job.
I cannot recommend this film to anyone who might be strongly offended by
the content mentioned above. Being a Catholic, it was hard for me to
listen to constant profanity, but it only detracted from the movie,
instead of ruining it completely. |
