The CinePearl Take
Shea Whigham delivers a gritty, world‑weary performance that anchors the film’s chaotic narrative, while Angela Gots brings a sharp, investigative edge to her role. Brad Furman’s direction balances procedural detail with atmospheric tension, though the pacing occasionally stalls in the middle act. Thematically, the movie probes the cost of truth‑seeking in a city that thrives on deception.
