When Eastern European criminals Oleg and Emil come to New York City to pick up their share of a heist score, Oleg steals a video camera and starts filming their activities, both legal and illegal. When they learn how the American media circus can make a remorseless killer look like the victim and make them rich, they target media-savvy NYPD Homicide Detective Eddie Flemming and media-naive FDNY Fire Marshal Jordy Warsaw, the cops investigating their murder and torching of their former criminal partner, filming everything to sell to the local tabloid TV show "Top Story."

This movie feels like 2001 in every way possible. I feel like De Niro’s talents were kind of wasted in this role, but it wasn’t a bad movie. Great supporting cast, including a young Vera Farmiga!

I don’t know what to say about this film, it was really strange because I liked some parts but then it was such a common police yankee film, but it’s nice.

A decent watch but not very exciting. Some good moments and good action but other then that was very forgetful.
