In regards to Corey Montieth: I saw that the other review focused
almost entirely on Montieth's performance. In truth, he plays a
supporting role without much screen time (although it is an important
role). He does an adequate job, but I was not blown away by his
performance. I will say that he was completely unrecognizable to me,
which is a positive thing.
In regards to David Morse: A underrated actor who I have always
appreciated. He carries the burden of the film on his shoulders and
makes it look easy. Morse has a way of being menacing and is absolutely
believable as a cop approaching retirement age who can still scare
people shitless.
The movie as a whole: A mixed bag. Rather than being the gritty
character study that it wants to be, it feels like a ripoff of some
other superior gritty character study. The dialogue is just barely off
the mark, but enough so that it feels slightly odd. Some plot points
are naggingly unrealistic (For example, the idea that Morse's partner
could be unaware of a robbery/rape that occurred the previous night.
Believe me every cop in the city would be aware). The camera-work and
direction are competent but bland. Morse raises my score from a 4 to a
6.
