When I saw that the movie was 159 minutes long, I had my reservations. After all, it's a cop movie starring Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn. I actually thought I'd be watching it in two or three sittings, but that wasn't the case at all.
The dialogue is incredible, where a 10-word quip will add a layer to a character with subtly rather than a sledgehammer. It's this thing called nuance that Hollywood evidently loathes in its films today.
The pacing is perfect (except perhaps the penultimate scene), and the side stories of secondary characters add the perfect dash of subplot to punch you in the gut.
This is not a film for the ADHD Snapchat crowd, but it's an excellent film for adults.
