Especially because, for like 5 minutes, they had me convinced this was going to say something interesting about police violence and "truth".


But then you remember this is a movie written in the early '90s that is probably very jealous of Seven getting made and The Little Things not.

I read A.O. Scott's review and completely agree with him except for the part where it seems like he kind of liked this? I wish this had either leaned into its potential to be a rad B movie by taking itself less seriously or was thoughtful at all about the story it was telling. Which is a weird thing to say about a script Hancock spent three decades stewing on.
