Well executed police drama that has one major flaw, it’s predictability. The film never goes into the less beaten track, doesn’t look at it, doesn’t even try to look at it. Given how banal the main storyline is, it would be nice if it at least waded deeper into the moral mud of the protagonist’s soul and also had a bigger catharsis in the end, but there’s not much of either. So, a watchable but not entirely satisfactory film.
