Viewing Notes
via Netflix
When 50-year-old Chris is released from prison, his cop brother Frank welcomes him with open arms. But problems arise when Chris can’t stay straight. This has the look and feel of a 70s cop drama. You could almost watch this and The French Connection back to back and swear they were made in nearly the same era if not for the fact that this one looks cleaner in the film quality department. The cast is pretty good in this. Some decent music choices here. My only issue with this is it’s very dry and while it has some meat to it doesn’t ever really grip me the way a crime drama should have.
