I quite enjoyed the plot and the though I was well filmed, mostly. The cast was pretty good on the whole but the biggest distraction was the miscasting of the lead character.
The film had potential to be a hybrid of HEAT and Training Day but the acting by Butler of troubled lead character was nothing short of dreadful. It was cliched to the point of amateurish.
He was so poor he even made 50 Cent look passable. His wooden portrait made his scenes drag on and on.
That said, the rest of the cast, 50 Cent included, contributed well and made the plot and action pretty decent. It does remind me of HEAT and that was a good thing. The lead character reminded me of Training Day and that would have been a good thing if it was not for the miscasting.
Hopefully the squeal will feature less of Butler.
