Reception
[edit]Michael Talbot-Haynes of Film Threat gave the film a score of 8/10 and called it a "tight thriller, effectively balancing the intense action with truly affecting dramatic moments."[1]
Tom Meek of Cambridge Day rated the film 2.5 out of 4 stars and wrote: "Blue-on-Black violence gets put under the microscope here, shining a light on some of the nuances, municipal shenanigans and complications of deadly police response and the tangled process of justice."[2]
Lapacanzo Sandoval of the New York Amsterdam News wrote that the film "has high ambitions but a very weak story with performances that do nothing to help shape this film" and called it a "look into the dull, boring, uninspired life of the guilty cop with no revelations at all."[3]
