Shame on the company that made this movie sham. The book at least tell a better story as far as being a bit more honest and no real shoot'em up, even though I found some exaggeration on Mr. Bo Dietl's way of telling of his exploits[ a word, if I may add, that can be taken in two different ways], like always fighting off bad guys with knives, mano a mano. You can fool some of the people most of the times, but you can not fool the NYPD cops, or for that matter, cops in general. This movie should not be saying that it is based on a true story. The only true incident was the rape of the nun. But the apprehension of the two young men that committed this heinous crime was not the way it happened. Read the book and see what I mean. For one tough cop, Mr. Dietl should have told Hollywood about his other exploits as an NYPD cop. Apparently those stories did not merit being put into the script. So what happens? Fiction with a childhood friend of Bo's that becomes a mafia made man. To add insult to injury, another mafia made man goes after Bo's partner. Never happened. One tough cop? tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't think so.
