This could've been a dope neo-noir, instead it's an average crime drama that desperately wants to be Seven.

Nothing here really works.

Denzel looks burnt out which is perfect for his haunted cop, butI don't feel anything foe his character.

Rami Malek is playing a normal person for once, and it feels hallow cause his line readings don't fit with the character he's supposed to be playing.

Jared Leto is playing another weird Jared Leto character.

The direction is flat. You can see better on TV. And the script MOS DEF needed some more work. Maybe another draft or 2.

It's amazing to me how average this is considering how long this has been kicking around Hollywood with the various directors attached.
