From NetFlix:
Channing Tatum stars as a young cop assigned to patrol his old Queens, N.Y., neighborhood, where he uncovers a dangerous secret about a long-unsolved murder. Tracy Morgan also takes a dramatic turn in this gripping indie thriller.
In my review for Retreat (2011) I mentioned a NY Times article deploring our lack of young male actors with staying power. In that review I hoped Jamie Bell would last. Quite possibly with Channing Tatum we may have another “keeper”.
Tatum gets the part right. But after all, he plays a very silent, taciturn, tormented cop. Cynics might say the acting was minimal on his part. But go to IMDB to review his long film resumé. Let’s hope he has staying power.
It didn’t hurt to have Al Pacino and Ray Liotta in the lineup. In all, the acting was pitch perfect.
Expect a grim and problematic resolution. But also expect a good film.
