Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 5
Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Watch when no other choice
Story Line: Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix as sons of Police Chief (Robert Duvall), Mark as the police captain and Joaquin on the other side. But events brought Joaquin to the same side of the Law to go against the drug dealers.
What's good: Joaquin is the leading actor of this movie and he depicts the character well.
What's bad: The movie, filmed under a rather typical gloomy overtone trying to depict 70/80s era, is rather dark. Action is minimum. If you want to see Mark Wahlberg kick some ass, there is not much, or at all to see.
Bottom line: If you are Joaquin Phoenix or Eva Mendez (as his girlfriend) fan, you need to watch this movie. Otherwise, if you want to see some police/drug bust movie from the same era, I think Denzel Washington's American Gangster is a better choice.
