The opening shot of this movie is fantastic; A striking aerial shot that is overdubbed by De Niro. It's the perfect monologue to set the stage for what all intents and purposes should be a crime epic.
What follows is one of the poorest portrayals of police corruption on film ever. The Garrison dwelling cops come off more as heartless/mindless thugs than actual conniving/morally compromised police. It all plays out in a messy, overly complicated fashion that just left me bewildered and unsatisfied.
