Sinekatalog’s take
A grimy, darkly funny noir about a bent cop whose bad choices keep multiplying, with a hit-woman performance that nearly walks off with the film. Violent and stylized, it is more fun than convincing. Pick it for sleazy crime atmosphere.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
