Viewing Notes

via Netflix

A homicide detective with a troubled past is breaking in a new partner while they investigate and profile the killer of a local woman.  For starters, I have to say I love the cast in this.  We get a younger Ryan Gosling who’s usual brooding portrayal fits the character he’s playing perfectly and Sandra Bullock, who I love in pretty much everything I’ve seen her in, plays the part of the troubled detective with a dark past perfectly.  There’s a bit of CSI to this as they have to fall on evidence but there’s more character work than anything else and seeing it from both sides throughout the film doesn’t hurt it at all.
