Viewing Notes

Samuel L. Jackson as a badass crooked cop.  I’m in.

I had my reservations about this film, but it was on cable and sucked me in.  Jackson is great here, you get a sense of crazy in his eyes.  Patrick Wilson is serviceable, but this is Samuel L. Jackson’s movie.  Very enjoyable and tense in all the right places.  A bit over the top in parts, but a lot of fun.
