Cops And Bad Guys
21 August 2020
Cops talking about how a street gang put the targets on their own backs, then a shaky-cam filmed street battle; next we get to see one of those rooms with a one-way mirror, but the room is just as dark as the corridor. Clearly, the lighting cameraman is telling us, we're in murky territory, one of those movies in which the only difference between the cops and the gangs is the badges.

Brian Miller's cops-vs-cops drama is a standard affair, with Chris Klein, Adam Rodriguez, and Curtis Jackson. It has two action sequences that bookend endless talk over a series of shots by cinematographer William Eubank. He tries to keep up interest with close-ups of paper coffee cups, and putting the camera so close to the subject the lens fogs. It doesn't work for me, since the background is never interesting, so it's all endless talk.
