Excellent stylized action sequences with tons of flying bullets and falling bodies. The story - such as it is - is a standard honest undercover cop pitted against big-time crooks and major corruption in his own department, making the odds for survival ridiculously daunting. The washed-out color pallette gives a bleakness to the proceedings that befits the gloom of such pervasive, unchallenged crime dominating the urban landscape. More satisfying on the visceral level than the cerebral.
