A young cop is assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, and an old secret threatens to destroy his life and his family.
This will probably go down in history as one of the strangest cast lists of all time. You have no talent (Channing Tatum/Katie Holmes), comedic talent only (Tracy Morgan), artsy talent only (Juliette Binoche) and major actors (Ray Liotta and Al Pacino). It was just downright strange watching all of them on screen together. And the really unfortunate thing is that the lack of legit actors throughout the cast kind of held the movie back. The story was great and there was a good back and forth between past and present thoughout the movie. However, Channing Tatum and Katie Holmes as the "emotional" leads were just as painful as you would expect. And I will be the first to admit that there are single parts of movies that can annoy the living hell out of me and I can't let go of them. Ray Liotta plays Channing Tatum's police captain. He also places threatening calls to Tatum and Holmes and they don't know who it is in the movie. The voice is blatantly Ray Liotta's voice on the phone. No effort to cover it up at all. I could not stop ranting about this the whole movie.
I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. Again, it's a decent/short story but the acting kind of poo poos all over it.
