Plain and racist. Not to also add that it feels like the movie goes nowhere, and even the plot makes it more stale and lost. The end is so bad and hilarious.
Can't believe Frank Booth directed this, or well...

Talk about chemistry🔥

A nice unique side of the usual story, the young cop is the “bad” cop while the veteran is the “good” cop.

Extremely consistent and steady pace, which is rare AF.

RIP Robert Duvall
