Plot

Two corrupt cops in New Mexico set out to blackmail and frame every criminal unfortunate enough to cross their path. Things take a sinister turn, however, when they try to intimidate someone who is more dangerous than they are.

Sinekatalog’s take

A foul-mouthed buddy comedy about two thoroughly crooked cops, driven by dark wit and irreverent banter. It runs out of steam in the plot department, but the deadpan nastiness and offbeat soundtrack keep it lively. Not for those who dislike offensive humour.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
