he leaves to many plot devices under-developed or simply clumsily used...

Woodrugh's gayness...used poorly

The Mexicans...wack...after they killed ol girl he was supposed to get info from...they should have been dead

Killed Stan and we barely even knew who the fuck Stan was

The actual initial murderer(s) actually made hella sense for once but the hard drive...a freshman forensic IT person could have retrieved that data in all likelihood

the multiple shit luck Vercoro had with phones was extremely extra and messy

Antigone not wanting any part of testifying

it was sloppy around the edges...the actual bare bones plot was solid...i think he needed ol boy to rein him in from going off the rails though...

i actually liked Vince in this role...i think his character seemed mildly far-fetched but i kinda liked that about it...colin was ok...mcadams character was clunky and i hate that she didn't take the time to learn to hold a gun with all that knife "training"

the setting and the bare-bones plot was dope though...it had all the makings of a prototypical noir but missed the mark...it should have been paced differently with that many moving parts
