One word review: Droll.
Some scenes felt like COPS on a big budget, while other sequences overstayed their welcome (mainly Sonny's subplot in the 2nd act). Perhaps it was just too lowkey for my expectations, it needed a little more excitement throughout the film, not just for its climax. The characterizations felt thin to me as well. Afterwards, I overheard one viewer expressing his disappointment over the lack of "juice" (adrenaline) and fast cars, chase scenes, the "coolness" factor. Maybe it was played just too flat, too realistic for some viewer's expectations.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
