I can totally imagine youngins cracking this on at a party involving doobies in the early 90s and having a great time. Stylish and vibey. Big beat soundtrack, loooow frame rate opening sequence, bombastic rear-lit colour lighting, and an elevated, dreamlike mode make this moralistic undercover thriller into something bespoke. Cool and beautiful.

The stylized neo-noir aesthetic with the topic of systematic racism and exploitation of the working class and corruption in the government creates this social commentary of film mixed with laughs and over the top scenes while still not over glamorizing these topic makes this a film with multiple layers and deeper story then just a gangster crime movie

WOW. Good thing I watched Hoodlum and was able to be blown away before seeing this! Fucking awesome from start to finish. Cinematography, performances and plot all came to play. Definitely check this one out.

I never thought that I would enjoy Jeff Goldbulm and Laurence Fishburne as a duo. I always enjoyed a good 90’s cop movie and this fulfilled it. The action was good, it was unpredictable, and so was the plot. The ending made the movie 10 times better and I am glad I watch this. Definitely worth watching.

The duality of identity — I love how much that central theme is woven throughout. There’s a thin line between cops and criminals, and Fishburne captures an internal battle that leads to a reckoning: the line isn’t thin but invisible. There’s a duality and decent into madness, Goldblum wears well; a lesser script wouldn’t have allotted time to highlight the contradictions in their chemistry, either.

This is what happens when writing, with texture and substance, meets a fully realized, cinematic style.
