The film’s been getting a lot of hype and, glad to report, it’s all worth it. Spicing up the acidic interplay between the two are a series of killer twists and a very satisfying, cheeky finale. The only issue was Hawke’s head of hair, which the actor happily shaved so they could replicate Hart’s signature combover. It’s one of those prestige dramas that will move some to tears while moving others to check their watches. It’s very good, gritty stuff, written and directed by cop-movie specialist Joe Carnahan, who gave us Narc, Bad Boys for Life and Pride and Glory.
