When cop Dave Brown (Woody Harrelson) is filmed beating up a
suspect his tightly controlled world begins to crumble.
Brown soon finds himself under investigation and past events
may re-surface bringing more trouble to his already fragile state of mind.
Desperate to keep his fragmented family together Brown then
decides to rob a high stakes poker game but the way it pans out has him
questioning who he can trust.
I was really looking forward to this one but despite a great
performance from Harrelson and a stellar cast which includes Sigourney Weaver,
Robin Wright, Ned Beatty and Ben Foster, this quickly goes from being an
interesting drama to a dull plodding trudge through the life of a morally
questionable individual.
The weird combination of great acting but boring story does
not make for an entertaining experience.
