An Exercise In Nonsense
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
The movie is a straight forward, low-to-no budget crime drama about an ex-undercover officer and his life after he is removed from service and outed. It is very straight forward. At under an hour and a half it can't afford not to be.Everything to make the film enjoyable is there. The direction/cinematography is solid, very good in places. The acting is good, everyone plays their parts, though most characters are very underwritten. Actually, the entire movie is underwritten. It could have easily been thirty minutes longer and fleshed out things more. The film as is hits the ground running, and doesn't really have much buildup nor a satisfying climax.The film was enjoyable nonetheless, and it is so short that it makes a good distraction if anything else.
