Review

Fishbourne and Goldblum, both always fun to watch. Throw in a gritty script and you’ve got yourself the making of a good movie. Really enjoyed this one, never heard of it before. Fishbourne brings his usual style, playing an undercover police officer trying to catch some drug dealers. The plot is a bit far-fetched at times. Goldblum plays a drug dealer, not the kind of character you would expect from them though what a performance. This story has been done loads of times, it’s the actors that take this movie to another level. It’s far from perfect though, some gritty scenes which I think could have been done better. Some of the dialogue will make you chuckle, like seriously, did you make it funny on purpose. That aside, it was a very good movie and an excellent pick.

Trivia

The last film where Laurence Fishburne was credited as Larry.
