![]() The script was also written by Zahler and took a deliberately slow pace, which is needed, after several moments of excessively violent scenes that play out like a hard-boiled crime novel. A mother (Jennifer Carpenter) also struggles to leave her newborn home and go back to work while a mysterious man is robbing businesses with a high-powered gun. That’s the setup, along with equal treatment storylines that include a recently released ex-con (Tory Kittles, who is fantastic here) who teams up with his childhood best friend Biscuit (Michael Jai White) to get some quick cash. He isn’t a peace officer anymore, not right now anyway he is just collecting on a robbery he had nothing to do with and has “the skills and the right to acquire proper compensation.” ![]() What’s the next logical step? Besides fighting the complaint with his local union rep, Ridgeman uses a tip from an informant to get wind of a robbery taking place in the hopes of intercepting the loot after they steal it. Lurasetti has his own issues, trying to get up the nerve and the scratch to give his long-time girlfriend an engagement ring. Ridgeman has a daughter who is being harassed daily on her way back from school, while his wife ( The Walking Dead’s Laurie Holden) has multiple sclerosis, and the bills are piling up even with a steady paycheck. He is worried the man he worked side by side with has lost his humanity. Since you can’t Yelp your local police department with a complaint, it was, of course, videotaped from a neighbor’s phone, causing their boss (Don Johnson) to suspend them. Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn star as a pair of detectives who take down a drug dealer, effectively removing hundreds of thousands of dollars of hard-narcotics off the city streets the problem is, Detective Brett Ridge man (Mel Gibson) used his foot to jam the dealer’s face into the steel fire escape, and later mocked his deaf girlfriend in front of his partner and ex-vet Detective Anthony Lurasetti (Zahler’s player Vince Vaughn), which isn’t in the handbook of proper protocols and procedure.
