Tom Ludlow (
Keanu Reeves) is a veteran LAPD Vice Detective who sets out on a quest to discover the killers of his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington (
Terry Crews).
Forest Whitaker plays Captain Wander, Ludlow's supervisor, whose duties include keeping him within the confines of the law and out of the clutches of Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (
Hugh Laurie). Ludlow teams up with a young Robbery Homicide Detective (
Chris Evans) to track Washington's killers through the diverse communities of Los Angeles. Their determination pays off when the two Detectives track down Washington's murderers and confront them in an attempt to bring them to justice.
this is a great movie have to see
An interesting tension runs through this film, and one that has been synonymous with the approach which Keanu Reeves has taken to much of his work in the last few years: measured, precise...just barely restrained. It has served him well most particularly, in this instance, where professionalism meets bewilderment, and pain must allow for resolution. The character's savage civility allows for nothing else, and, ultimately, will settle for nothing less, despite the destruction of ideals, of connection, and of self. There was loving work, here, of craft - and, tellingly...it shows.
I thought this was a great movie, I never got bored from watching it.
