This is a low budget effort, nothing like a Hollywood film. It is an update of the Serpico genre, insider-tells-all using some contemporary technology which is easily overdone. There are also elements of Scarface but without the balletic, graphic violence. Not that there's any lack of on-screen violence, but none of it is credible. Charitably, the acting and writing is C- to B-. It is not entirely the fault of the actors. With better direction and camera work, the potential was there.

Intriguing Fresh Take on the Classic Mobster Movie
jonathanregier20 May 2017
I thoroughly enjoyed this film from Brian Eric Johnson with a fresh angle on the mobster genre that I hadn't seen done before. In our world there are so many surveillance cameras everywhere we go, I was intrigued by the "found footage" technique used for this mobster movie. The use of a body cam on the secret agent also made me feel like I was in a video game and more in the middle of the action than most movies. I also really liked the use of the wife's perspective from outside the mob-- it created a nice emotional anchor as she missed her husband under deep cover.
