I have to strongly disagree with all the 9 and 10 star reviews here. In spite of the fact that it contains some of my favourite actors, the fact is, there is an excess of soapy drama, which is more remeniscent of a TV series than a serious movie. And the gushing praise for Mr. Stallone is misplaced; although his acting isn't as wooden as we're accustomed to, it's hardly oscar material. The only way I could watch this film was in little sessions of half hour or less. So, it took days to finish it. I wouldn't have been able to do even that without there being, as I said, some of my favourite actors. Some of them seemed a little bored, and weren't up to the usual standard. All in all, this is a fairly mediocre movie, and not very coherent. Something is obviously wrong, because I am usually an avid consumer of all manner of cop films, even without the excellent ensemble cast of this one.
