This is a very interesting and entertaining movie about "How far is too far?" in law enforcement. The rookie sees all the crime that the veteran detective overlooks, and sometimes even participates in, under the guise of creating the possibility of the bigger bust. So the question of the movie is, "Who's right? The veteran or the rookie?"Denzel Washington is generally a sure thing for me. This movie has very few downsides. Because of the plot and material of the movie, there is foul language and drug use throughout. These are things I wish I could live without in film, but in this case they exist for realism instead of for, well, no real reason at all.
I don't think this is one of those movies that will incredibly shock its audience, but it is good and entertaining. I know I put "buy" down below, but you should at least rent this one.
