Trivia:
As Ludlow walks out of his impromptu meeting with Diskant he says "Harry, I thought you were dead" to an unseen Detective seated at a desk. This is in reference to Keanu Reeves' film _Speed (1994)_, which was also based in LA, in which his character Jack Traven was partnered with Detective Harry Temple (played by Jeff Daniels) who was killed in a bombing.

This movie keeps you entertained throughout. I love looking for holes in plots but was unable to locate one in this movie. Lots of action and mental gymnastics. I think Keanu Reeves did well in this movie, as did Whitaker. In fact, I think the entire movie was well cast. My only criticism of Reeves is that he doesn't show much emotion. In fact, he seems kind of cut off. But, I know what to expect from him in all his movies. He is pretty much the same. But I enjoy his acting anyway. He does real well in the fighting scenes. This movie reminded me somewhat of Training Day. I guess because it was about the L.A.P.D. and dealt with dirty cops, etc. Great police thriller. Recommend watching in the theater on HD, if possible. In fact, I'll probably get the DVD when it comes out.
