8/10
Surprisingly great little movie with a slow start and a dent towards the end
2 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Yes, the movie starts really slow and a couple of scenes you you could easily fast forward without feeling you missed much. Nevertheless, this slow buildup is needed to set the mood for what follows: A silent, almost peaceful death by overdosing, a desperate man on the serch / hunt for the responsible - following the path he's been set on where ever it leads him to, no matter the consequences, all the way to the shocking top. DeNiro and Malkovich shine in their small but substancial supporting roles as bright as ever, Clay Wilcox's performance reminds of a raw unpolished diamond. The whole hunt is underlined by a great soundtrack that never lets you slip out of the mood. Unfortunately towards the end, the estableshing shots at Coyote's compound and the first part of the action there are clumsy at best, but that drop does not last long enough to let the mood slip. All in all a great watch.

Where is realism when you need it?

Unfortunately, the action sequences aren't much better than the stupid plots.

My understanding of a SWAT Team would be, they support the detectives when some firepower is needed, for example storm a hideout, seal off a hostage situation and so on.

Contrary to that understanding, this SWAT Team does (most of) the detective work, interrogations - even at the hospital beds - and so forth.....

Now, I might be wrong here, but I don't think so (Adrian Monk)
